Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
Many people think that AI is just a fast and smart version of the human brain. But to make
big progress, we need to build AIs that are very different from humans. Humans often think
our way of thinking is the best because we are the only self-aware species on Earth, says
digital visionary Kevin Kelly. But this is not true. Human intelligence is only one type of
intelligence. There are many other ways to think.We say that human thinking is “general
purpose” because we can do many different things. But as we create more AIs, we will see
that human thinking is not the only way to solve problems.
Today, AI can do some things that only humans could do before. For example, AI can play
chess or recognize objects in pictures. But AI does not do them like humans do. I put
130,000 of my own photos into Google Photos. The AI remembers everything in the pictures.
When I type “bicycle,” “bridge,” or “mother,” the AI quickly finds all the right photos. A
human brain cannot do this. AI memory is very different from human memory. Humans are
also not very good at statistics and numbers. But we are building AIs that are very good at
this. These AIs think in a new way. They are not like us—and that’s a good thing. In today’s
connected world, new kinds of thinking help us find new ideas. This is how we create
progress and make the future better.
