1. What does the acronym AGI stand for?

   1. Advanced Graphic Interface
   2. Artificial General Intelligence
   3. Artificial Neural Network
   4. Automated Learning System

2. Which statement best describes narrow AI?

   1. AI systems that can learn without any data
   2. AI systems designed to perform one specific task or a limited range of tasks
   3. AI systems that can think and reason like humans across any subject
   4. AI systems that have achieved consciousness and self-awareness

3. Why is it impossible to know exactly when AGI will arrive?

   1. Because computers are not powerful enough to run AGI
   2. Because governments have banned research on AGI
   3. Because the scientific and technical challenges are not fully understood
   4. Because AI researchers have already achieved AGI but won't admit it

4. The lesson gives an example showing today's AI cannot do something that an 8-year-old child can do. What is that task?

   1. Multi-step planning that requires thinking ahead
   2. Solving simple addition problems
   3. Recognizing faces of family members
   4. Reciting the alphabet backward

5. Why should you be skeptical when a company claims it is building 'AGI'?

   1. Because the government has patents on all AGI research
   2. Because building AGI is simple and most companies can do it
   3. Because the term is often used loosely in marketing without scientific meaning
   4. Because AGI has already been fully developed

6. What did the 'Try it!' activity in the lesson suggest students do?

   1. Write an essay about why AGI is impossible
   2. Ask three different AIs how far we are from AGI and compare their answers
   3. Build their own narrow AI system
   4. Search the internet for articles about AGI

7. Why does the lesson say not to believe anyone who claims to know exactly when AGI will arrive?

   1. Because the people making those claims are always lying
   2. Because AGI will definitely never be created
   3. Because the future of AI development is fundamentally uncertain
   4. Because AGI arrived two years ago but was kept secret

8. In what way is narrow AI already changing the world today?

   1. It has completely replaced all human workers
   2. It is changing jobs and education through automation and new tools
   3. It has solved climate change and cured diseases
   4. It has achieved self-awareness and is making political decisions

9. What does the term 'hype' refer to in the context of AI development?

   1. The mathematical formulas that make AI work
   2. The physical hardware that runs AI systems
   3. Exaggerated claims about what AI can do or when it will achieve more capabilities
   4. A specific programming language used to build AI

10. Why do AI researchers give such different estimates for when AGI might arrive?

    1. Because AGI development is fully complete and they're hiding it
    2. Because governments have set specific deadlines
    3. Because there is no scientific consensus on how to achieve AGI
    4. Because they want to confuse the public

11. Which of the following is TRUE about the gap between today's AI and AGI?

    1. The gap might be huge or small - we genuinely don't know
    2. The gap doesn't exist because today's AI is already smarter than humans
    3. The gap has already been closed by the latest AI chatbots
    4. The gap is purely a problem of not having enough computers

12. What characteristic would define a truly 'general' intelligent system?

    1. The ability to be programmed in any programming language
    2. The ability to process information faster than any human
    3. The ability to run on any type of computer hardware
    4. The ability to handle any mental task a human can do, not just one specific type

13. Based on the lesson, what should you do when you see a news article claiming AGI will arrive in a specific year?

    1. Treat it with skepticism because nobody can predict the timeline accurately
    2. Believe it because journalists only report facts
    3. Dismiss it completely because AGI will never happen
    4. Ignore it because AI development has stopped

14. What is one reason the timeline for AGI is so uncertain?

    1. AI researchers have already achieved AGI in laboratory settings
    2. All the necessary technology has already been invented
    3. We don't yet know all the scientific breakthroughs needed to achieve it
    4. The laws of physics prevent AGI from ever being possible

15. What does the lesson say about how different AI chatbots answer the question 'How far are we from AGI?'

    1. They all say AGI will arrive in exactly 10 years
    2. They refuse to answer because AGI is a banned topic
    3. They all give the exact same answer
    4. They give different and uncertain answers
