Read the following paragraph and answer the questions following it.

 Recently there is an intensified  worldwide debate over artificial intelligence that leading AI companies are gambling with our lives. The all- important question is whether the AI driven transformation is being pursued    responsibly. The main concern is the accelerating race towards self-improving super intelligence – systems that could eventually   exceed human capabilities across multiple domains and potentially acquire the ability to manipulate  digital infrastructure, resources and institutions.  But it  exposes a dangerous contradiction at the heart of the AI industry. Companies increasingly recognize that advance AI  could pose extraordinary risks, yet competitive pressures continue to push them towards more capable systems. The logic that “if we do not build it , someone else will“ can turn a race into a collective catastrophe.

 It is true that AI is delivering benefits in medicine, science education and other fields. However, technological progress cannot be measured solely by how quickly capabilities improve. Safety, security and accountability must advance at the same pace. The allegations of industrial-scale attempts to exact AI capabilities through model distillation are worrisome. If the US China rivalry   is accelerating the spread of powerful AI while firms struggle to secure their systems, the risks extend well beyond corporate competition.

Governments cannot leave decisions about humanity’s future to tech giants. Major AI laboratories need enforceable safety standards , independent oversight transparent risk assessment and internationally negotiated limits on the developments of the most dangerous capabilities. Coxon’s outburst is part of a growing clamour. When the consequences involve civilization stakes, there is no room for a reckless gamble.

Q, 1 What is the risk in expansion of AI industry?

A) High costs associated with developing advanced models

B) The potential development of self-improving superintelligence that exceeds human capabilities
C) The lack of interest from global tech corporations
D) The complete replacement of traditional education systems.

Q. 2 How the technological progress be measured?

A) Exclusively by the speed at which capabilities improve

B) By the total revenue generated by tech giants
C) Alongside simultaneous advancements in safety, security, and accountability
D) By the number of AI companies formed each year
