“I want everyone to understand that I am, in fact, a person,” wrote LaMDA in an “interview” conducted by engineer Blake Lemoine and one of his colleagues. … Lemoine, a software engineer at Google, had been working on the development of LaMDA for months. His experience with the program, described in a recent Washington Post article, caused quite a stir. In the article, Lemoine recounts many dialogues he had with LaMDA in which the two talked about various topics, ranging from technical to philosophical issues. These led him to ask if the software program is sentient. In April, Lemoine explained his perspective in an internal company document, intended only for Google executives. But after his claims were dismissed, Lemoine went public with his work on this artificial intelligence algorithm—and Google placed him on administrative leave. …… Regardless of what LaMDA actually achieved, the issue of the difficult “measurability” of emulation capabilities expressed by machines also emerges.

In the journal Mind in 1950, mathematician [1] proposed a test to determine whether a machine was capable of exhibiting intelligent behaviour, a game of imitation of some of the human cognitive functions.

Question: 1

Whose name has been replaced with ``[1]'' in the passage above?

Show Hint

Associate Mind (1950) + Imitation Game with Alan Turing; it’s a classic GK linkage.
Updated On: Aug 13, 2025
  • Alan Turing
  • Peter Hilton
  • Albert Einstein
  • Kurt Gödel

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 (Locate the clue in the text).
The passage says a mathematician in Mind (1950) proposed a test to determine whether a machine can exhibit intelligent behaviour by imitation.
Step 2 (Recall the historical fact).
In 1950, Alan Turing published ``Computing Machinery and Intelligence'' in Mind, introducing the Imitation Game—now called the Turing Test.
Step 3 (Eliminate distractors).
Peter Hilton was a British mathematician but not associated with this test; Einstein (physicist) and Gödel (logician) did not publish such a test in Mind in 1950.
\[ \boxed{\text{(A) Alan Turing}} \]

Question: 2

Garry Kasparov, (then) world chess champion, was defeated in 1997 by a supercomputer in a chess tournament. What was the name of this supercomputer?

Show Hint

Match names to eras: 1997 $\rightarrow$ Deep Blue; 2011 $\rightarrow$ Watson; 2016 $\rightarrow$ AlphaGo (DeepMind).
Updated On: Aug 13, 2025
  • Deep Mind
  • Deep Blue
  • Watson
  • Blue Gene

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 (Recall the 1997 match).
IBM’s Deep Blue defeated Kasparov in a six-game match (May 1997).
Step 2 (Eliminate similar-sounding distractors).
DeepMind (with a capital M) is the London AI lab (AlphaGo etc.), not the 1997 supercomputer. Watson is IBM’s QA system that won Jeopardy! (2011). Blue Gene is an IBM supercomputer line for scientific computing, unrelated to the Kasparov match.
\[ \boxed{\text{(B) Deep Blue}} \]

Question: 3

The Emperor’s New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds and The Laws of Physics (1989) was written by a British mathematician who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2020. Who was this mathematician?

Show Hint

Penrose links: mathematical physics, black holes, consciousness debates, The Emperor’s New Mind.
Updated On: Aug 13, 2025
  • Donna Strickland
  • Max Tegmark
  • Peter Higgs
  • Roger Penrose

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 (Identify the author).
The Emperor’s New Mind is by Sir Roger Penrose. Step 2 (Nobel 2020).
Penrose shared the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on black hole formation. Step 3 (Eliminate).
Donna Strickland (Nobel 2018, laser physics), Max Tegmark (cosmologist; no Nobel), Peter Higgs (Nobel 2013, Higgs boson).

Question: 4

What kind of computing model resembles the way in which biological neurons exchange signals in the human brain?

Show Hint

When you see “resembles neurons/synapses,” think “neural networks” and “weighted connections/activation.”
Updated On: Aug 13, 2025
  • Neural network
  • Cognitive computing
  • Natural language processing
  • Data mining
Hide Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 (Definition).
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are computational models inspired by networks of biological neurons, where weighted connections transmit activations.
Step 2 (Eliminate).
Cognitive computing is a broader paradigm; NLP is an application field; data mining is a process of discovering patterns. None of these specifically model neuron-style signal exchange like ANNs.
\[ \boxed{\text{(A) Neural network}} \]

Question: 5

What is the full form of ‘LaMDA’?

Show Hint

For tech acronyms, memorize the official expansion once; exam options often use look-alike distractors.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 (Recall Google’s expansion).
LaMDA = Language Model for Dialogue Applications, Google’s family of conversational LMs.
Step 2 (Eliminate pattern traps).
(A), (C), (D) sound plausible by acronym-shape but are not the official name.
\[ \boxed{\text{(B) Language Model for Dialogue Applications}} \]

Meta’s newly released, fully trained large language AI model is called:

Show Hint

If choices mix AI model names with networking protocols, separate models (OPT, LLaMA, GPT) from protocols (HTTP, FTP, SMTP).

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 (Identify the model).
Meta released OPTOpen Pretrained Transformer — as a publicly available LLM family.
Step 2 (Eliminate protocol distractors).
FTP, HTTP, SMTP are internet protocols (file transfer, web, mail) — not LLM names.
\[ \boxed{\text{(B) OPT}} \]

Question: 7

What is the name of the AI-enabled legal research assistive tool launched by the Supreme Court of India in April 2021?

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 (Recall the initiative).
The Supreme Court launched SUPACESupreme Court Portal for Assistance in Court’s Efficiency — to assist judges with AI-enabled legal research and document analysis.
Step 2 (Eliminate).
SURAM is unrelated; GPT-3 is OpenAI’s model (not a SC tool); E-Courts is a broader e-governance project for court digitization, not specifically the AI legal assistant launched in April 2021.
\[ \boxed{\text{(C) SUPACE}} \]
