<p>An agent builds a quiz app on the history of AI with the instruction to use only the knowledge base it created before. What is the main purpose of this instruction?</p><ol type=A><li>Every question can be traced back to a checked entry with a source, instead of to what the model believes it knows.</li><li>The app runs faster, because it does not need a connection to the internet.</li><li>The model can no longer make mistakes, because the knowledge base is correct.</li><li>Copyright is respected, because the knowledge base contains only facts.</li></ol>	<ul><li><b>Every question can be traced back to a checked entry with a source, instead of to what the model believes it knows.</b><br>Correct: the knowledge base was checked against sources; the model's general knowledge was not.</li></ul>
<p>An agent's timeline dates a milestone to 1957 and links a source. What is the most reliable way to check this?</p><ol type=A><li>Ask the agent whether it is sure about the year.</li><li>Open the linked source and see whether it gives the same year for the same event.</li><li>Ask a second chatbot for the year and accept it if both agree.</li><li>Check whether the year looks plausible compared with the neighbouring milestones.</li></ol>	<ul><li><b>Open the linked source and see whether it gives the same year for the same event.</b><br>Correct: trust, but check means comparing the statement with the source it relies on.</li></ul>
"<p>In ""The Bitter Lesson"" (2019) Rich Sutton draws a conclusion from seventy years of AI research. Which?</p><ol type=A><li>General methods that get better with more computation, such as learning and search, have in the long run overtaken approaches built on human knowledge.</li><li>Systems with rules written by experts remain more reliable than learned systems and will replace them.</li><li>Progress in AI came mainly from better programming languages and development tools.</li><li>AI research has failed repeatedly because computers will never have enough memory for general intelligence.</li></ol>"	<ul><li><b>General methods that get better with more computation, such as learning and search, have in the long run overtaken approaches built on human knowledge.</b><br>Correct: this is the bitter lesson, because researchers kept wanting to build in their own knowledge and lost out in the long run.</li></ul>
"<p>What did Alan Turing propose in ""Computing Machinery and Intelligence"" in 1950?</p><ol type=A><li>to replace the question ""Can machines think?"" with a test in which a machine has to pass as a human in a written conversation</li><li>the first artificial neural network, a model of a neuron that learns from examples</li><li>the term ""artificial intelligence"" for a summer workshop at Dartmouth</li><li>a program that beats the world chess champion</li></ol>"	"<ul><li><b>to replace the question ""Can machines think?"" with a test in which a machine has to pass as a human in a written conversation</b><br>Correct: Turing called it the imitation game; today it is known as the Turing test.</li></ul>"
"<p>Why is 1956 often named as the year AI was born?</p><ol type=A><li>At a workshop at Dartmouth College the field of research got its name, ""artificial intelligence"".</li><li>In that year the first computer was sold commercially, which made AI research possible in the first place.</li><li>Turing published the test named after him.</li><li>A neural network was trained on a computer for the first time.</li></ol>"	"<ul><li><b>At a workshop at Dartmouth College the field of research got its name, ""artificial intelligence"".</b><br>Correct: the proposal for the workshop coined the term, and with the meeting AI begins as a field of its own.</li></ul>"
<p>An agent is asked to publish an app on the history of AI that it built itself. Its folder also contains the downloaded sources. What does not belong in the publication?</p><ol type=A><li>the full texts of the downloaded sources</li><li>the API key used to generate the narrator's voice</li><li>the knowledge base with the facts and the links to the sources</li><li>the photo of the pinboard with the students' handwriting</li><li>the app's code</li></ol>	<ul><li><b>the full texts of the downloaded sources</b><br>Correct: the rights to the texts belong to publishers and authors; what gets published is the link, not the copy.</li><li><b>the API key used to generate the narrator's voice</b><br>Correct: a published key can be used by anyone, at the account holder's expense.</li><li><b>the photo of the pinboard with the students' handwriting</b><br>Correct: handwriting is personal data; without consent it does not belong on the web.</li></ul>
