correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
We’re not surprised if you haven’t been following the recent developments in AI all that closely
because, for the most part, it’s seemed like nothing exciting has happened for quite a long time. Sci-fi
dreams about computer powered best friends aside, AI for the general public has come to mean reasonably
responsive and well-programmed computer assistance rather than independent thinking machines.
Concepts like ‘smart’ chatbots somehow seem to pull us further from the Star Trek or Heinlinian dream of
fully sentient and intuitive computers while many products and services that claim to integrate AI seem to
be nothing more than a fast way to analyze large amounts of data.
In fact, the last time most of us heard something hopeful about AI was when Deep Blue beat the
world Chess champion, but what ever came of that AI? Surely it hasn’t used that incredible logical power
to take over the world or begin making friends, so what do we even care?
While practical applications for specifically built AI are growing, the tradition of training your AI
programming skills on classic strategy games has existed since the 1950s when a computer was
programmed to play and was able to win a game of tic-tac-toe. Since then a large variety of games and
custom-built AIs have been tested against each other to the great entertainment of experts in the field and
curious nerds like us who care about that sort of thing. The real difference is not what they’re programmed

3
for but how they are programmed to start with and, in fact, this is also what most profoundly distinguishes
AlphaGo from its older-generation relative, the Chess champion DeepBlue.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Many AI researchers roll their eyes when seeing this headline: “Stephen Hawking warns that rise
of robots may be disastrous for mankind.” And as many have lost count of how many similar articles
they’ve seen. Typically, these articles suggest we should worry about robots rising up and killing us
because they’ve become conscious and/or evil. On a lighter note, such articles are actually rather
impressive, because they succinctly summarize the scenario that AI researchers don’t worry about. That
scenario combines as many as three separate misconceptions: concern about consciousness, evil, and
robots.
If you drive down the road, you have a subjective experience of colors, sounds, etc. But does a
self-driving car have a subjective experience? Does it feel like anything at all to be a self-driving car?
Although this mystery of consciousness is interesting in its own right, it’s irrelevant to AI risk. If you get
struck by a driverless car, it makes no difference to you whether it subjectively feels conscious. In the same
way, what will affect us humans is what superintelligent AI does, not how it subjectively feels.
The fear of machines turning evil is another red herring. The real worry isn’t malevolence, but
competence. A superintelligent AI is by definition very good at attaining its goals, whatever they may be,
so we need to ensure that its goals are aligned with ours. Humans don’t generally hate ants, but we’re more
intelligent than they are – so if we want to build a hydroelectric dam and there’s an anthill there, too bad
for the ants. The beneficial-AI movement wants to avoid placing humanity in the position of those ants.

4
 In fact, the main concern of the beneficial-AI movement isn’t with robots but with intelligence
itself: specifically, intelligence whose goals are misaligned with ours. To cause us trouble, such misaligned
superhuman intelligence needs no robotic body, merely an internet connection – this may enable
outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and
developing weapons we cannot even understand. Even if building robots were physically impossible, a
super-intelligent and super-wealthy AI could easily pay or manipulate many humans to unwittingly do its
bidding.
The robot misconception is related to the myth that machines can’t control humans. Intelligence enables
control: humans control tigers not because we are stronger, but because we are smarter.
