A Narrow-Focus Artificial Intelligence (AI) System is an intelligent machine that can solve a domain-specific intelligence task.
- AKA: Task-Specific AI, Problem-Specific AI.
- Context:
- It can (typically) be associated with a Narrow AI Emergence Period.
- It can be the focus of a Narrow AI Community.
- It can be associated with a Narrow AI Time Period, such as narrow AI expansion period.

- Example(s):
- an AlphaFold 2, of ~2020-10
- an AlphaGo Go-player, of ~2017-05-23.
- a Watson System, of ~2011-02-15.
- a Netflix Prize Recommender System, such as BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos in 2009.
- an RCR2000 system, deployed by USPS in 1999.
- a DeepBlue Chess-player, of ~1997

- … the mainstream of AI research has turned toward domain-dependent and problem-specific solutions; therefore it has become necessary to use a new name to indicate research that still pursues the "Grand AI Dream". Similar labels for this kind of research include “Strong AI", “Human-level AI", etc.
The problems involved in creating general-purpose intelligent systems are very different from those involved in creating special-purpose systems.
