1.-Narrow AI is AI designed to perform specific tasks. For example, a recommendation system can suggest movies, while a voice assistant can understand and respond to commands. It can perform its intended task well but does not have general human-like understanding across many different areas.

-Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to a hypothetical type of AI that could learn, reason, and perform a wide range of intellectual tasks at a level comparable to humans. Unlike narrow AI, AGI would not be limited to one specific task. Current AI systems are generally considered narrow AI rather than AGI.

2.the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence, held in 1956, is widely regarded as a foundational event in the history of AI. Researchers including John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon gathered to discuss the possibility of creating machines capable of intelligent behavior.

The workshop was significant because the term “artificial intelligence” was introduced as the name of the field in the proposal for the workshop. It helped establish AI as a distinct area of academic research and encouraged researchers to investigate topics such as machine learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.

3.The Turing Test, proposed by Alan Turing in 1950, evaluates whether a machine can carry on a conversation in a way that is indistinguishable from a human to an evaluator. I would say it is still useful, but not sufficient as a complete measure of machine intelligence.

Its value is that it tests an important aspect of intelligence: the ability to communicate convincingly using language. However, successfully imitating human conversation does not necessarily mean that a system genuinely understands the world, reasons reliably, or possesses other forms of intelligence.

Modern AI systems can produce highly convincing conversations, making the test less informative as a single measure of intelligence. Today, researchers often consider multiple capabilities, such as reasoning, problem-solving, factual reliability, learning, and planning, rather than relying on conversation alone.

4.The AI effect is the tendency for people to stop considering a technology to be “AI” once it becomes familiar, reliable, and widely used. In other words, once a task becomes routine, people may see it as ordinary software rather than artificial intelligence.

A modern example is optical character recognition (OCR). When computers first became capable of recognizing printed text from images, this was considered an important AI achievement. Today, OCR is commonly built into phones, scanners, and document applications, so many people simply think of it as a normal software feature.

The AI effect shows that our definition of “AI” can change as technology becomes more capable and familiar.
