Sample questions from IBPS PO Prelims 2020 (10 October 2020 Shift 1)
1Read the passage and answer the questions given below. Some words may be
highlighted. Read carefully.
The purpose of Artificial Intelligence(AI) is to aid human capabilities and help us make advanced decisions with far-reaching consequences. That’s the answer from a
technical standpoint. From a philosophical perspective, Artificial Intelligence has the
potential to help humans live more meaningful lives devoid of hard labour, and help
manage the complex web of interconnected individuals, companies, states, and nations
to function in a manner that’s beneficial to all of humanity.
Currently, the purpose of Artificial Intelligence is shared by all the different tools and techniques that we’ve invented over the past thousand years – to simplify human
effort, and to help us make better decisions. Artificial Intelligence has also been touted as our Final Invention, a creation that would invent ground-breaking tools and services
that would exponentially change how we lead our lives, by hopefully removing strife ,
inequality, and human suffering.
That’s all in the far future though – we’re still a long way from those kinds of outcomes. Currently, Artificial Intelligence is being used mostly by companies to improve their
process efficiencies, automate resource-heavy tasks, and to make business predictions
based on hard data rather than gut feelings. As all technology that has come before
this, the research and development costs need to be subsidized by corporations and
government agencies before it becomes accessible to everyday laymen.
The purpose of philosophy for humans is to help us understand our actions, their
consequences, and how we can make better decisions. Modern intelligent systems can
be built by following the different approaches of philosophy that will enable these
systems to make the right decisions, mirroring the way that an ideal human being would
think and behave . Philosophy would help these machines think and understand about
the nature of knowledge itself. It would also help them make the connection between
knowledge and action through goal-based analysis to achieve desirable outcomes.
If there is a synergy between man and machine, if they are able to work fully in tandem, this world will undergo a sea change and our everyday lives would be completely
transformed.
What could be a suitable title for the passage?
- A) Human beings and their problems
- B) How AI works- detailed analysis
- C) Technology- then and now
- D) Artificial Intelligence
- E) None of these
Answer: D
