CT-AI practice question 14 of 15

ln the near future, technology will have evolved, and Al will be able to learn multiple tasks by itself without needing to be retrained, allowing it to operate even in new environments. The cognitive abilities of Al are similar to a child of 1-2 years.’ In the above quote, which ONE of the following options is the correct name of this type of Al? SELECT ONE OPTION

Full set: 120 questions
Answer options
A: Technological singularity
B: Narrow Al
C: Super Al
D: General Al Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. General Al
Explanation

The description refers to an AI that can learn and perform multiple intellectual tasks, adapt to new environments, and possesses general cognitive abilities, which is the definition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Although its current ability is compared to a child, the key characteristic is its generality and ability to learn any task a human can, distinguishing it from AI designed for a single purpose (Narrow AI). It is not yet at the level of Super AI, which would surpass human intelligence.

Why Incorrect

A. Technological singularity is a hypothetical future event driven by AI growth, not a type of AI itself.
B. Narrow AI is designed for a specific, single task (e.g., playing chess) and cannot generalize to multiple, new tasks as described.
C. Super AI is an intellect that would vastly surpass the cognitive performance of humans in all domains, which is beyond the "child-like" abilities described.
