1. Why might a huge AI need a whole building full of computers to work?

   1. Because it needs to be kept in a special museum for visitors
   2. Because it stores a massive amount of knowledge and needs powerful hardware to process it
   3. Because it is made of metal and weighs more than other AIs
   4. Because it runs faster when it is in a tall building

2. A tiny AI that helps you type faster on your phone is most likely:

   1. Too small to be useful
   2. Very fast but knows only a few things
   3. As smart as a supercomputer
   4. Extremely slow but knows everything

3. What is the main advantage of a tiny AI compared to a big AI?

   1. It can solve harder math problems
   2. It can respond much more quickly
   3. It can understand more languages
   4. It can learn new things on its own

4. The lesson compares big AIs and tiny AIs to big dogs and tiny dogs because:

   1. Big dogs are always better than tiny dogs
   2. AIs are trained to act like dogs
   3. Both pairs show that things come in very different sizes
   4. Dogs and AIs can both do the same jobs

5. What does the term 'parameters' mean in the context of AI?

   1. The rules for how to turn on a computer
   2. The screens that AIs use to display information
   3. The people who program AI
   4. The parts of an AI that decide what it knows and can do

6. Why might someone choose to use a tiny AI instead of a huge AI for a simple task?

   1. Because the tiny AI is faster and uses less energy
   2. Because the huge AI would get confused
   3. Because tiny AIs are always more expensive
   4. Because huge AIs cannot do simple tasks

7. When you see words appear above your keyboard while typing on a phone, what are you actually seeing?

   1. A tiny AI making suggestions based on what you usually type
   2. A notification from your phone's operating system
   3. A giant AI searching the internet for answers
   4. A tiny human helper watching your screen

8. What is true about the relationship between an AI's size and its intelligence?

   1. Smaller AIs are always smarter than bigger ones
   2. Bigger AIs are generally smarter but work more slowly
   3. Size has no effect on how smart an AI is
   4. All AIs are the same size

9. The lesson says some smart watches have an AI 'smaller than a postcard's worth of code.' What does this suggest?

   1. The AI is extremely small and simple
   2. Postcards are smarter than smart watches
   3. The AI can only show pictures of postcards
   4. The watch is the size of a postcard

10. If an AI is described as having a lot of 'power,' what does that most likely mean?

    1. It can control other devices
    2. It is physically heavy
    3. It uses a lot of electricity
    4. It can do complex tasks and process lots of information

11. A chat AI that can discuss many topics versus a typing helper that suggests the next word represent:

    1. A big AI versus a tiny AI
    2. A broken AI versus a working AI
    3. Two different humans
    4. Two identical AIs

12. What would happen if you tried to put a giant AI's brain into a small wearable device?

    1. The device would run very slowly or run out of memory
    2. The AI would become even smarter
    3. The device would work perfectly
    4. The AI would disappear

13. The lesson mentions 'model size' as a key term. What does model size mostly refer to?

    1. How much knowledge and ability the AI has
    2. How many people built the AI
    3. How long the AI has been online
    4. How big the computer screen is

14. Why do tiny AIs often live inside phones and watches rather than in big data centers?

    1. Because phones and watches are smarter than computers
    2. Because they are small enough to work on the limited power and space of a personal device
    3. Because tiny AIs need to be close to the user
    4. Because they are afraid of big buildings

15. If you needed an AI to help control a self-driving car in real time, what quality would be most important?

    1. How creative it can be
    2. Speed — it must react instantly
    3. How many historical facts it knows
    4. How many languages it can speak
