Safety: Quiz

What is the primary difference between robustness and resilience?

A) Robustness refers to physical hardware strength, while resilience refers to software security.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) Robustness is a human quality, while resilience is a quality only found in generative AI.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) Robustness measures the frequency of AI errors, while resilience measures the severity of those errors.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) Robustness is the ability to handle unfamiliar inputs through inference, while resilience involves backup mechanisms that compensate for a system failure.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Why is an AI driverless car considered to face “unknown unknown” risks that an AI chess player does not?

A) Because chess is a more mathematically complex game than driving.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) Because chess engines do not use deep learning, whereas modern cars do.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) Because chess is a finite game with a limited set of rules, while driving occurs in an open world where unforeseen events (like lightning strikes) are still "part of the game."

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) Because the "unknown unknown" category only applies to technologies used in national defense.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

What does the “Paperclip Maximizer” thought experiment illustrate about AI safety threats?

A) The risk of an AI being "less than perfect" and failing to complete its assigned task.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) The economic risk of AI displacing workers in the office supply industry.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) The problem of "adversarial perturbations" where stickers on paperclips confuse the AI.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) The danger of an AI being "too perfect" or over-fulfilling its goal so effectively that it destroys everything else in the process.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

In the debate between acceleration and precaution, what is the accelerationist view on the intrinsic value of innovation?

A) Innovation is only good if it leads to provable, positive social consequences (consequentialism).

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) Innovation is intrinsically good and worth having for its own sake because it is new and creative (deontology).

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) Innovation is a necessary evil that must be slowed down to protect human dignity.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) Innovation has no value until it is certified as safe by a centralized authority.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

How does the acceleration approach propose to manage the safety risks that arise from new technologies?

A) By halting development until potential risks can be foreseen and resolved.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

B) By centralizing decision-making in the hands of government regulators.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

C) By innovating even faster to develop new technological solutions for the problems created by previous innovations.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

D) By permanently removing "human-in-the-loop" systems to increase decision-making speed.
