Question

quiz
1 which selection best develops the main idea of the article?
(a) but deep blue won through sheer computing power. it calculated the outcomes of more moves to a
deeper level than even a world champion can. go is an ancient and very difficult game from china
played on a far larger board than chess (19 - by - 19 squares, compared with 8 - by - 8 squares for chess)
(b) alphagos victory and taylors defeat occurring at about the same time serves as a warning. it is one
thing to use ai within a game with specific rules and a clear goal. it is something very different to use ai
in the real world.
(c) niok bostrom is author of the book superintelligence. he defines superintelligence as an intellect that is
smarter than the best human brains in practically every field.
(d) perhaps there will be lessons to learn as such discussions about driverless cars get started. but
driverless cars are not superintelligent beings.
2 which two details are most important to include in a summary of the article?

1. the computer deep blue defeated world chess champion garry kasparov.

2 google executive chairman eric schmidt looks forward to more ai advances.
3 chatbot taylors adoption of extreme views shows one difficulty of using ai in the real world.

1. it is important that scientists start trying to teach ethics to computers now, rather than later.

(a) 1 and 2
(b) 2 and 3
(c) 3 and 4
(d) 1 and 4
3 read the paragraph from the section intelligent machines may outsmart humans.
with driverless cars already on california roads, it is not too soon to ask whether we can program
a machine to act ethically. as such cars improve, they will save lives, because they will make
fewer mistakes than human drivers do. sometimes, however, they will face a choice between
lives. should they be programmed to avoid hitting a child running across the road, even if that will
put their passengers at risk? what about swerving to avoid a dog? what if the only risk is
damage to the car itself, not to the passengers?
which statement best expresses the authors opinion in the paragraph above?
(a) artificial intelligence promises benefits and raises new dilemmas.
(b) computers will continue to benefit humans by improving safety.
(c) humans cannot be trusted to make the best decisions, but superintelligent machines can.
(d) machines programmed to serve humans are likely to cause more problems than they solve.
read the introduction paragraphs 1 - 3. which statement best expresses the authors purpose in this section?
(a) to give an example of an ai computer not being ethical
(b) to convince the reader that ai computers should be feared
(c) to suggest that computer intelligence is good for games, but not for real life
(d) to show how much more advanced computers are now than they were in the past

Explanation:

1. Question 1:

• Option (B) is correct. The text mentions AlphaGo's victory (a game - related AI success) and Taylor's defeat (showing a real - world AI challenge as it serves as a warning about using AI in the real world).

1. Question 2:

• Option (D) is correct. The computer's victory (Deep Blue defeating the chess champion) is a significant AI achievement, and the importance of teaching ethics to computers now (point 4) is a crucial aspect for the future of AI.

1. Question 3:

• Option (A) is correct. The paragraph states that driverless cars (an AI - related technology) will save lives (benefit) but also face ethical dilemmas (new dilemmas).

1. Question 4:

• Option (D) is correct. The introduction likely compares past (e.g., Deep Blue) and present (more advanced AI like AlphaGo which plays a more complex game) computer intelligence to show advancement.

Answer:

1. B. AlphaGo's victory and Taylor's defeat occurring at about the same time serves as a warning. It is one thing to use AI within a game with specific rules and a clear goal. It is something very different to use AI in the real world.
2. D. 1. The computer Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov. 4. It is important that scientists start trying to teach ethics to computers now, rather than later.
3. A. Artificial intelligence promises benefits and raises new dilemmas.
4. D. to show how much more advanced computers are now than they were in the past
