  1. A shop adds AI product recognition at checkout. Cashiers still help customers and fix checkout mistakes. What does this example show?

    • The cashier's whole job has been taken over by AI
    • One task within the cashier's job has changed
    • The cashier's tasks have all stayed exactly the same

  2. Which task describes a data labeler's work on an AI picture sorter?

    • Marking training pictures as boots or sneakers
    • Checking the trained sorter's guesses for mistakes
    • Using the finished sorter to organize shop pictures

  3. If AI writes a caring message, a worker no longer needs to listen to the person receiving it.

    Circle one:   True   False

  4. A school uses AI to suggest quiz marks. Maya says this proves all teachers will lose their jobs next year. What is missing from her conclusion?

    • Evidence about whole jobs and future decisions
    • Proof that a task change always removes the whole job
    • Proof that every school must make the same staffing choice

  5. AI suggests posters for a fair attended by younger pupils. Which action uses creativity and judgment to suit that audience?

    • Choose the busiest design because more details must help younger readers
    • Use the suggested wording unchanged because AI already chose the audience
    • Adapt a design so its words and pictures suit the younger pupils

  6. Which task best fits an AI tester's role?

    • Adding group labels to pictures before the system is trained
    • Checking a trained system's replies for mistakes
    • Using the system's replies to write a customer's shopping list

  7. AI advises watering a field. The farmer checks and finds the soil is already wet. What should guide her next decision?

    • The field evidence, considered alongside the AI advice
    • The AI advice alone, because a computer's recommendation outranks a field check
    • A decision never to consider AI advice again, because this advice needs review

  8. Deniz says, 'AI can write stories, so people no longer need creativity at work.' Which reply best addresses his claim?

    • A generated story already fits its audience, so developing it further adds nothing
    • Creativity matters only when people avoid using any computer during their work
    • People still develop ideas and judge whether they fit a purpose

AI and the Future of Work W1-mt__AWSThGJ0d-s1

  1. One task within the cashier's job has changed · AI now assists with recognizing products. Customer help and fixing mistakes remain tasks for cashiers.
  2. Marking training pictures as boots or sneakers · A data labeler marks training examples. Boot and sneaker labels identify the groups the sorter is learning.
  3. False · A caring-sounding message may not fit the person's needs. Listening and care remain responsibilities.
  4. Evidence about whole jobs and future decisions · A change in quiz marking does not establish what will happen to every teacher's job next year.
  5. Adapt a design so its words and pictures suit the younger pupils · Adapting the design to its audience develops an idea for a purpose. An AI suggestion still needs review.
  6. Checking a trained system's replies for mistakes · An AI tester examines how the system behaves and checks for errors. Labeling training examples is a different role.
  7. The field evidence, considered alongside the AI advice · The wet soil is relevant local evidence. The farmer should use it to review this recommendation.
  8. People still develop ideas and judge whether they fit a purpose · Generating a story does not settle whether it suits its purpose. People still develop, choose and revise ideas.
