If AI were an animal, would it be an owl, a cheetah, an octopus, an eagle, a wolf, or something else? What does that show?

Fill in the Blank

SWBAT describe how the author’s use of __________ ________ achieves specific purposes by making inferences supported with text evidence.

Multiple Choice

Based on the photograph and caption, what is this informational text most likely going to be about?

• A meeting where world leaders gather to celebrate entertainment achievements in global media industries

• A meeting where world leaders gather to announce new tourism partnerships across different countries

• A meeting where world leaders gather to address the growing risks linked to artificial intelligence technology

• A meeting where world leaders gather to promote cultural festivals and international art exchanges

Multiple Choice

What can the reader conclude about the Bletchley Declaration based on paragraph 2?

• It was immediately rejected by most participating countries

• It only applies to European Union member nations

• It focuses solely on the benefits of AI technology in international scenarios

• It represents an unprecedented international agreement on AI

Justifications

A. It was immediately rejected by most participating countries

❌ Incorrect

• Paragraph 2 says the declaration was created by many nations working together.

• There is no evidence it was rejected.

B. It only applies to European Union member nations

❌ Incorrect

• Paragraph 2 lists the United States, China, Britain, the EU, and 24 other nations.

• This is global, not just the EU.

C. It focuses solely on the benefits of AI technology in international scenarios

❌ Incorrect

• Paragraph 2 says the declaration addresses risks, including “disinformation” and “possibility of disaster.”

• It does not focus solely on benefits.

D. It represents an unprecedented international agreement on AI

✅ Correct

• Paragraph 2 explains that this is the first clear international declaration on AI, with major world powers collaborating.

• This supports the idea that it’s unprecedented—never done before at this scale.

Multiple Choice

In the selection, the author includes the detail that the meeting took place at "Bletchley Park, England" to highlight that –

• England has the best technological facilities for big summits

• the summit location connects to historical code-breaking efforts

• AI meetings can only happen in very neutral European countries like England

• Bletchley Park is a popular tourist destination

✅ Correct Answer: B. the summit location connects to historical code-breaking efforts

Why B is correct:

• Bletchley Park is famous for World War II code breakers who decrypted Nazi messages.

• The author mentions it to connect past code-breaking work to today’s AI “risk” work, showing the summit is serious and historic.

---

❌ Why the Other Choices Are Incorrect

A. England has the best technological facilities for big summits

• The text never says England has the “best” technology.

• The focus is on history, not on England’s modern tech facilities.

C. AI meetings can only happen in very neutral European countries like England

• The passage does not say AI meetings can only happen in England or neutral countries.

• That’s an overgeneralization not supported by the text.

D. Bletchley Park is a popular tourist destination

• The author does not mention tourism at all.

• The detail is about its historical role in code-breaking, not about visitors.

Based on paragraph 4, what inference can be made about the AI Safety Summit?

The AI Safety Summit was important because leaders from many powerful countries came together to discuss the risks of AI and make plans for how to handle it safely.

Multiple Choice

What can the reader infer about global AI regulation based on these sentences?

• All countries around the world have agreed on a unified approach to AI regulation

• Current AI regulations are inconsistent and fragmented across different nations

• No countries have yet created any rules or policies regarding AI

• The patchwork system of different rules is the most effective approach to control AI

✅ Correct Answer:

Current AI regulations are inconsistent and fragmented across different nations

---

Justifications

Correct Answer Explanation:

“Current AI regulations are inconsistent and fragmented across different nations.”
✔️ This is correct because paragraph 6 says there is a “patchwork of current or proposed rules” and countries have “varying approaches.”
✔️ “Patchwork” means the rules are uneven, mixed, and not aligned.

---

❌ Incorrect Answer Explanations

A. “All countries around the world have agreed on a unified approach to AI regulation.”

❌ Incorrect

• The passage says the opposite.

• Countries have different approaches and no unified plan yet.

C. “No countries have yet created any rules or policies regarding AI.”

❌ Incorrect

• The text mentions current or proposed rules, which means countries do have rules—they’re just different.

D. “The patchwork system of different rules is the most effective approach to control AI.”

❌ Incorrect

• The passage never says the patchwork is effective.

• In fact, the call for cooperation suggests the patchwork is a problem, not a solution.

Multiple Choice

The author refers to AI as potentially being "trustworthy and responsible" most likely to —

• suggest that AI already possesses human emotions and values

• explain that AI is like humans and  requires no human oversight or guidance

• reveal that technology cannot be controlled by humans

• emphasize that AI systems should be developed with ethical and reliable qualities

✅ Correct Answer:

emphasize that AI systems should be developed with ethical and reliable qualities

---

Justifications

Correct Answer Explanation:

✔️ The author uses the words “trustworthy and responsible” to show that AI needs to be created and used in a way that is safe, ethical, and reliable.
✔️ This matches the idea of countries working together to ensure AI doesn’t cause harm.

---

❌ Incorrect Answer Explanations

A. “suggest that AI already possesses human emotions and values”

❌ Incorrect

• The sentence does not claim AI has real human emotions.

• The wording is about how AI should be designed, not what it already feels.

B. “explain that AI is like humans and requires no human oversight or guidance”

❌ Incorrect

• The passage continues to stress the need for international cooperation and regulation, which means AI does require oversight.

C. “reveal that technology cannot be controlled by humans”

❌ Incorrect

• The text suggests the opposite: humans are working together to control and guide AI safely.

• Nothing in the passage says AI is uncontrollable.

Multiple Choice

• The meeting signaled a shift toward solving long-standing political disagreements

• The meeting highlighted ongoing concerns about increased military expansion

• The meeting represented a rare moment of cooperation during ongoing tensions

• The meeting suggested both countries had fully resolved their technology disputes

Multiple Choice

Why does King Charles III compare advances in AI to humans “harnessing of fire” in paragraph 10?

• To show that AI represents a simple invention that poses minimal danger to society

• To show that AI represents a familiar tool that requires very little oversight

• To show that AI represents a powerful force that must be carefully managed
