Task Classification of AI

The domain of AI is classified into Formal tasks, Mundane tasks, and Expert tasks.

Task Domains of Artificial Intelligence
Mundane (Ordinary) Tasks	Formal Tasks	Expert Tasks
Perception ● Computer Vision ● Speech, Voice	● Mathematics ● Geometry ● Logic ● Integration and Differentiation	● Engineering ● Fault Finding ● Manufacturing ● Monitoring
Natural Language Processing ● Understanding ● Language Generation ● Language Translation	Games ● Go ● Chess (Deep Blue) ● Ckeckers	Scientific Analysis
Common Sense	Verification	Financial Analysis
Reasoning	Theorem Proving	Medical Diagnosis
Planing		Creativity
Robotics ● Locomotive

Humans learn mundane (ordinary) tasks since their birth. They learn by perception, speaking, using language, and locomotives. They learn Formal Tasks and Expert Tasks later, in that order.

For humans, the mundane tasks are easiest to learn. The same was considered true before trying to implement mundane tasks in machines. Earlier, all work of AI was concentrated in the mundane task domain.

Later, it turned out that the machine requires more knowledge, complex knowledge representation, and complicated algorithms for handling mundane tasks. This is the reason why AI work is more prospering in the Expert Tasks domain now, as the expert task domain needs expert knowledge without common sense, which can be easier to represent and handle.
