Artificial Intelligence MCQ

Q: Which statement best describes the relationship between AI, machine learning and deep learning?

Correct answer: Machine learning is a branch of AI, and deep learning is a branch of machine learning. AI is the broad field; ML is its data-driven branch; deep learning is ML using many-layered neural networks.

Q: An AI system that performs only one specific task well is called:

Correct answer: Narrow AI. Narrow (weak) AI excels at a single task, like spam filtering; general AI would match humans across all tasks.

Q: What is 'training data' in machine learning?

Correct answer: The examples a model learns patterns from. Training data is the set of examples from which the model extracts patterns.

Q: A model that memorises training examples but fails on new data suffers from:

Correct answer: Overfitting. Overfitting means fitting the training data too closely and losing the ability to generalise.

Q: Predicting whether an email is spam or not spam is an example of:

Correct answer: Classification. Predicting a category (spam / not spam) is classification, a supervised learning task.
