1. What does 'AI' stand for?

  • A. Artificial Intelligence ✓
  • B. Automated Information
  • C. Advanced Internet
  • D. Applied Intelligence

💡 AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, referring to systems that can simulate human-like intelligence and reasoning.

2. What is 'overfitting' in machine learning?

  • A. When a model learns the training data too well, including noise, and performs poorly on new data ✓
  • B. When a model is too simple
  • C. A type of hardware issue
  • D. A type of database error

💡 Overfitting occurs when a model learns the training data, including its noise, too closely, hurting performance on new data.

3. What is a 'chatbot'?

  • A. A software application that simulates human conversation ✓
  • B. A type of hardware
  • C. A type of database
  • D. A type of network

💡 A chatbot is a software application designed to simulate conversation with human users, often via text or voice.

4. What does 'deep learning' refer to?

  • A. A subset of machine learning using neural networks with many layers ✓
  • B. A type of hardware
  • C. A type of internet connection
  • D. A programming language

💡 Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with many layers to model complex patterns.

5. What is a 'neural network' in AI?

  • A. A computing system inspired by the structure of the human brain, used for pattern recognition ✓
  • B. A type of database
  • C. A type of internet router
  • D. A type of encryption

💡 A neural network is a computing system loosely modeled on the human brain's structure, useful for pattern recognition tasks.

6. What is 'machine learning'?

  • A. A subset of AI where systems learn from data to improve performance without explicit programming ✓
  • B. A type of hardware
  • C. A type of internet connection
  • D. A programming language

💡 Machine learning is a subset of AI where systems improve their performance on a task by learning from data.

7. What is 'natural language processing' (NLP)?

  • A. A field of AI focused on enabling computers to understand and process human language ✓
  • B. A type of hardware
  • C. A type of database
  • D. A type of encryption

💡 NLP is a branch of AI focused on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

8. What is a 'large language model' (LLM)?

  • A. An AI model trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human language ✓
  • B. A type of hardware
  • C. A type of database only
  • D. A type of internet router

💡 A large language model is an AI system trained on massive amounts of text to understand and generate human-like language.

9. What is 'supervised learning' in machine learning?

  • A. Training a model using labeled data ✓
  • B. Training a model without any data
  • C. Training a model using only unlabeled data
  • D. A type of hardware

💡 Supervised learning trains a model using labeled data, where the correct output is already known.

10. What is 'unsupervised learning'?

  • A. Training a model using unlabeled data to find patterns ✓
  • B. Training a model with labeled data only
  • C. A type of hardware
  • D. A type of database

💡 Unsupervised learning trains a model on unlabeled data, letting it discover patterns or structure on its own.

11. What does 'GPT' commonly stand for in AI language models?

  • A. Generative Pre-trained Transformer ✓
  • B. General Purpose Technology
  • C. Global Processing Tool
  • D. Graphic Processing Terminal

💡 GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, a type of AI language model architecture.

  • A. The dataset used to teach a machine learning model ✓
  • B. The final output of a model
  • C. A type of hardware
  • D. A type of encryption

💡 Training data is the dataset used to teach a machine learning model to recognize patterns and make predictions.

13. What does 'algorithm' mean in the context of AI?

  • A. A set of rules or instructions given to an AI system to help it learn or make decisions ✓
  • B. A type of hardware
  • C. A type of database
  • D. A type of internet connection

💡 An algorithm in AI is a defined set of rules or instructions that guides how a system learns or makes decisions.

14. What is 'computer vision'?

  • A. A field of AI that enables computers to interpret and understand visual information ✓
  • B. A type of database
  • C. A type of hardware only
  • D. A type of encryption
