Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

Artificial intelligence is as abstract as thought, written in computer code, but people imagine AI embodied in humanoid form. Robotic hardware has a lot of catching up to do, however. Realistic, AI-generated avatars will have AI-generated conversations and sing AI-generated songs, and even teach our children. Deepfakes also exist, where the face and voice of one person, for example, is transposed onto a video of another. We’ve also seen realistic AI-generated faces of people who don’t exist. Researchers are working on combining the technologies to create realistic 2D avatars of people who can interact in real-time, showing emotion and making context-relevant gestures. A Samsung-associated company called Neon has introduced an early version of such avatars, though the technology has a long way to go before it is practical to use. Such avatars could help revolutionize education. Artificial intelligence researchers are already developing AI tutoring systems that can track student behavior, predict their performance and deliver content and strategies to both improve that performance and prevent students from losing interest. AI tutors hold the promise of truly personalized education available to anyone in the world with an Internet-connected device — provided they are willing to surrender some privacy. “Having a visual interaction with a face that expresses emotions, that expresses support, is very important for teachers,” said Yoshua Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal and the founder of Mila, an artificial intelligence research institute. Korbit, a company founded by one of his students, Iulian Serban, and Riiid, based in South Korea, are already using this technology in education, though Bengio says it may be a decade or more before such tutors have natural language fluidity and semantic understanding. There are seemingly endless ways in which artificial intelligence is beginning to touch our lives, from discovering new materials to new drugs — AI has already played a role in the development of COVID-19 vaccines by narrowing the field of possibilities for scientists to search — to picking the fruit we eat and sorting the garbage we throw away. Self-driving cars work, they’re just waiting for laws and regulations to catch up with them.
