Unit 1: Foundations of AI Review

Which of the following is the most accurate definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

• The study of how computers can mimic human movement.

• The field of computer science is dedicated to creating systems that can perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence.

• The science of programming robots to perform factory tasks.

• The study of using databases to store information.

What is the main purpose of the Turing Test?

• To measure a computer's processing speed.

• To determine if a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from a human.

• To evaluate a machine's ability to perform calculations.

• To test a robot's physical dexterity.

Which of the following is an example of a system exhibiting intelligent behavior?

• A. A web browser saving a user's password.

• B. A word processor automatically correcting spelling errors.

• C. A calculator adding a list of numbers.

• D. A streaming service recommending a new movie based on your viewing history.

Which of the following best describes the difference between "knowledge" and "knowing" in an AI context?

• Knowledge refers to the data stored; knowing is the process of data retrieval.
• Knowledge is the AI's programming; knowing is the AI's hardware capabilities.
• Knowledge is the AI's ability to apply information; knowing is the information it has.
• Knowledge is the information an AI has; knowing is the AI's ability to apply that information.

What was a significant outcome of the early AI program, ELIZA?

• It proved that machines could pass the Turing Test.

• It showed that AI could have a conversation with a human.

• It demonstrated that simple pattern matching could make a machine seem intelligent.

• It proved that AI would never be able to understand human language.

Which of the following is a primary ethical concern related to AI systems that learn from public data?

• The cost of data storage.

• The time it takes to process the data.

• Bias in the data that can lead to unfair or discriminatory outcomes.

• The risk of the AI becoming too intelligent.

Who is considered one of the key figures in the history of AI, known for creating the Turing Test?

• Albert Einstein

• Alan Turing

• Isaac Newton

• Stephen Hawking
