ISO42001 : 2023 AIMS Foundation - Sample Question

​

An AI system uses recent sensor readings and past examples to support driving decisions, but it does not understand human emotions or possess consciousness. Which AI type is most appropriate?

A) Limited memory AI, because it uses past or recent data to support decisions.

B) Theory of Mind AI, because it understands beliefs, intentions, and emotions.

C) Self-aware AI, because it is conscious of its own internal state.

​

Correct answer:
A) Limited memory AI, because it uses past or recent data to support decisions.

 

Explanation:
Limited memory AI can use historical or recent data to support decision-making. This is common in many practical AI systems, including systems that use recent observations, learned patterns, or temporary context.

 

Why the other options are incorrect:

• Theory of Mind AI, because it understands beliefs, intentions, and emotions.

The scenario does not describe the system understanding mental states.

• Self-aware AI, because it is conscious of its own internal state.

The system uses data, but using data does not mean it has consciousness or self-awareness.

 

Example:
An autonomous vehicle system that uses recent sensor inputs and learned driving patterns is an example of limited memory AI.

 

Study Note:
Using memory or context is not the same as having consciousness.

 

Key Concept:

• Limited memory AI uses past or recent data.

• Theory of Mind AI relates to mental states.

• Exam trap: Data use does not equal self-awareness.
