## ✅ Answer key and explanations

| # | Answer | Explanation |
|---|:-------:|-------------|
| 1 | **B** | This is THE definition of the session: learning from data (examples), instead of being programmed rule by rule. A robot is a body; AI is software. |
| 2 | **C** | Alan Turing, 1950. His test: if you can't guess whether you're talking to a human or a machine... the machine wins.|
| 3 | **B** | ELIZA simply rephrased sentences (“I'm sad” → “Why do you say you're sad?”)… and people still confided in it! |
| 4 | **A** | Chess. Deep Blue calculated millions of positions per second — brute force, not learning. |
| 5 | **B** | Turing (1950) → ELIZA (1966) → Deep Blue (1997) → AlphaGo (2016) → ChatGPT (2022). |
| 6 | **B** | “Narrow” = only one talent. AlphaGo crushes humans at Go, but can't do anything else. General AI (multipurpose like a human) remains science fiction. |
| 7 | **B** | Data (examples) → learning (finding patterns) → prediction (guessing on something never seen before). Like a baby learning to recognize cats! |
| 8 | **C** | The automatic door uses a simple motion sensor; it has not learned from data. This is a classic “AI or not AI?” trap. |
| 9 | **B** | A hallucination: the AI produces *plausible* text, not necessarily *true*. Hence the golden rule: we check; we never take AI output at face value. |
| 10 | **D** | Above all, AI replaces tasks, transforms jobs and creates new ones. Answers A, B and C are the 3 myths that we dismantled during the session. |
