C3.5 Video 5 - Quiz about AI

Who first coined the term 'artificial intelligence'?

• Jay McCartney

• John McCarthy

• Alan Turing

• Marvin Minsky

Answer explanation

The term 'artificial intelligence' was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 during the Dartmouth Conference, which is considered the birth of AI as a field. Jay McCartney is not associated with this term.

What does AI involve?

• Machines simulating human problem-solving

• Only robotics

• Humans solving problems

• Only computer programming

Answer explanation

AI involves machines simulating human problem-solving, which encompasses various technologies beyond just robotics or programming. The correct choice highlights the essence of AI as mimicking human cognitive functions.

Which of the following is NOT an area defined by McCarthy's proposal?

• Creativity

• Machine learning

• Abstraction

• Self-improvement

Answer explanation

McCarthy's proposal includes areas like creativity, abstraction, and self-improvement, but does not specifically define machine learning as one of them, making it the correct choice for this question.

What is an example of weak AI?

• A general problem-solving machine

• A system that understands emotions

• A chess-playing program

• A robot that can think like a human

Answer explanation

A chess-playing program is an example of weak AI because it is designed to perform a specific task (playing chess) without general intelligence or understanding, unlike a system that understands emotions or thinks like a human.

What does deep learning mimic?

• The structure of the human brain

• Human emotions

• Human creativity

• Human memory

Answer explanation

Deep learning mimics the structure of the human brain by using artificial neural networks, which are designed to simulate the way neurons interact and process information, enabling complex pattern recognition.

What is a notable achievement of DeepMind?

• AlphaGo

• Siri

• Google Assistant

• IBM Watson

Answer explanation

AlphaGo is a notable achievement of DeepMind, as it was the first AI program to defeat a world champion in the complex board game Go, showcasing advanced machine learning and strategic thinking capabilities.

What is the main function of machine learning?

• To solve all problems

• To create human-like robots

• To program software explicitly

• To learn from input-output examples

Answer explanation

The main function of machine learning is to learn from input-output examples, allowing systems to improve their performance on tasks without being explicitly programmed for each specific case.

Which of the following is an example of a task AI can perform?

• Recognizing speech

• Feeling emotions

• Understanding human history

• Making ethical decisions

Answer explanation

AI can perform tasks like recognizing speech, which involves processing and interpreting audio data. In contrast, feeling emotions, understanding human history, and making ethical decisions are complex human traits that AI cannot replicate.

What is strong AI aiming to achieve?

• Machines that can only play games

• Machines that can think and reason like humans

• Machines that can perform specific tasks

• Machines that can only recognize images

Answer explanation

Strong AI aims to create machines that can think and reason like humans, enabling them to understand, learn, and apply knowledge in a way similar to human cognition, unlike machines limited to specific tasks or functions.

What do neural networks use to process information?

• Artificial neurons

• Human neurons

• Traditional programming

• Random algorithms

Answer explanation

Neural networks process information using artificial neurons, which are mathematical functions that mimic the behavior of biological neurons. This allows them to learn patterns and make decisions based on input data.
