Answer

The Transformer architecture, introduced in the paper "Attention is All You Need" in 2017, revolutionized natural language processing and is the basis of GPT, BERT, and Claude.

Question 10

Question 10 : Which test created in 1950 evaluates whether a machine can imitate human thought?

Possible answers:

Test de von Neumann
Test de Lovelace
Test de Turing
Test de Shannon

Answer

The Turing test, proposed in 1950 in the paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", evaluates whether a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human.

Question 11

Question 11 : Which AI technique generates images from text descriptions like "an astronaut cat"?

Possible answers:

OCR
AI image generation
Facial recognition
Compression d'images

Answer

AI image generation (like DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion) uses diffusion models to create images from text prompts.

Question 12

Question 12 : What concept describes the risk that a superintelligent AI might pursue goals contrary to human interests?

Possible answers:

Alignment problem
Technological singularity
Echo chamber effect
Biais algorithmique

Answer

The AI alignment problem concerns the difficulty of ensuring that an advanced AI pursues beneficial goals aligned with human values.

Question 13

Question 13 : Which Elon Musk company develops brain implants to connect the brain to a computer?

Possible answers:

The Boring Company
Tesla
SpaceX
Neuralink

Answer

Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk in 2016, develops brain implants to create direct interfaces between the human brain and computers.

Question 14

Question 14 : What type of neural network is particularly effective for image recognition?

Possible answers:

Réseau de Hopfield
Multilayer perceptron
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)

Answer

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are specially designed to process grid-like data such as images, using convolution layers that detect visual features.

Question 15

Question 15 : What term describes an AI model's ability to explain its decisions in an understandable way?

Possible answers:

IA symbolique
IA faible
Generative AI
IA explicable

Answer

Explainable AI (XAI) aims to make AI model decisions transparent and understandable to humans, unlike "black boxes".

Question 16

Question 16 : Which open-source Google framework has become a standard for machine learning model development?

Possible answers:

TensorFlow
React
Angular
Flutter

Answer

TensorFlow, developed by Google Brain and made open-source in 2015, is one of the most popular frameworks for creating and training machine learning models.

Question 17

Question 17 : What phenomenon occurs when an AI model memorizes training data instead of generalizing?

Possible answers:

Hallucination
Sous-apprentissage
Dérive des données
Overfitting

Answer

Overfitting occurs when a model adapts too closely to training data and loses its ability to generalize to new data.

Question 18

Question 18 : Which technology allows autonomous cars to detect their environment in 3D using lasers?

Possible answers:

Sonar
GPS
LiDAR
Radar

Answer

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser beams to create a detailed 3D map of the environment, essential for autonomous vehicle navigation.

Question 19

Question 19 : What term describes synthetic content (videos, audio) created by AI to deceive viewers?

Possible answers:

Morphing
Deepfake
Photomontage
Fake news

Answer

Deepfakes use AI to create hyperrealistic synthetic content, such as videos where one person's face is replaced with another's.
