Understanding Artificial Intelligence Concepts

What is the primary characteristic of a machine with artificial intelligence?

• A machine that can perform any task a human can.

• A machine that can interpret data, learn from it, and adapt to achieve specific goals.

• A machine that can engage in meaningful conversations and navigate complex environments.

• A machine that is designed to replace human jobs.

Which statement best describes the difference between current artificial intelligence and 'generalized AI' often seen in fiction?

• Generalized AI can only perform specific tasks, while current AI can think like a human.

• Current AI is capable of answering any question, whereas generalized AI is limited to specific domains.

• Generalized AI can think and do anything a human can, while current AI is limited to specific tasks and inputs.

• Current AI is primarily used for surveillance, while generalized AI focuses on personalized care.

In which of the following situations is Artificial Intelligence most likely being used without you realizing it?

• A self-driving car navigating a busy city street.

• A robot performing complex surgery in a hospital.

• An online store recommending products based on your past purchases.

• A robot having a deep philosophical conversation with a human.

Who coined the term 'Artificial Intelligence' and for what purpose?

• Marvin Minsky, to predict the future of human-like machines.

• John McCarthy, for a summer research project at Dartmouth.

• A group of cognitive psychologists, to study human thought processes.

• IBM Corporation, to develop advanced computing systems.

How does artificial intelligence learn about the world?

• It is born with all the knowledge it needs.

• It gathers data from interactions and experiences, similar to how a human baby learns.

• It downloads all information directly from the internet without any prior learning.

• It only learns from other AI systems, not from real-world data.

What was a major factor contributing to the period known as the 'AI Winter' before 2010?

• A lack of interest from scientists and researchers in artificial intelligence.

• Insufficient data and computing power to effectively solve complex real-world problems.

• Too many competing theories about how AI should be developed.

• Strict government regulations that halted AI research and development.

For a computational task that takes a modern supercomputer 1 second to complete, how long would it have taken the IBM 7090 from 1956?

• About 55 hours

• About 10 years

• About 4,753 years

• About 600 billion seconds

Which of the following daily activities contributes to generating data that can be used by artificial intelligence systems?

• Uploading a photo to social media.

• Using a credit card to make a purchase.

• Applying for a loan to buy a new car.

• All of the above.
