Q

Compare Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

A
  • ANI is designed for a specific task, like playing chess.
  • AGI refers to a machine with the ability to understand, learn, and apply intelligence broadly across any task a human can do.

Q

True or False:

As of now, we have achieved Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

A

False

AGI, which refers to human-level intelligence across tasks, has not yet been achieved; current AI systems remain narrow in scope.

Q

Who is considered one of the founding figures of AI and created the Turing Test?

A

Alan Turing

The Turing Test is a measure of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.

16
Q

Identify a real-world scenario where deep learning is applied.

A

It is used in autonomous vehicles for tasks like detecting pedestrians and traffic signs.

17
Q

True or False:

AI can only be used for tasks that involve numerical data.

A

False

AI can work with text, images, audio, and other data types, not just obvious numerical data. However, these inputs are usually converted into numerical representations first, such as pixels for images, audio waveforms/features, or tokenized vectors for text.

18
Q

How does AI differ from traditional programming?

A

In traditional programming, rules are explicitly defined, whereas AI systems learn from data to create their own rules.

19
Q

Which AI type is most likely to pose ethical and safety concerns in the future?

A

Artificial Superintelligence

(ASI)

ASI could potentially surpass human intelligence, leading to unknown risks and ethical challenges.

20
Q

What is one common use of AI in healthcare?

A

AI is used for medical imaging analysis to help diagnose diseases more quickly and accurately.
