The recommendation engine that suggests movies on Netflix excels at predicting what you might watch next but cannot handle tasks outside that domain.
What is Narrow AI?
An agreed upon set of rules for performing a task
What is a protocol?
After exploiting vulnerabilities and infiltrating a system, an attacker may escalate privileges or install backdoors in this phase, so they don’t lose their hard-won foothold.
What is Maintaining Access?
The minimum number of bits required to represent 50 unique values.

What is overfitting?
A lookup service contacted to resolve names your computer can't understand such as www.google.com.
What is DNS?
This system uses asymmetric encryption, digital certificates, and trusted authorities to verify the identity of users and devices across a network.
