Read the passage given below, and answer the questions that follow:
This has been the decade of Al, with one astonishing feat after another. A chess-playing Al, after learning the game in just four hours, can defeat not only all human chess players but also all previous human-programmed chess machines. That's yesterday's news. What's next? True, these prodigious accomplishments are all in so-called narrow Al, where machines perform highly specialized tasks. But many experts believe this restriction is very temporary. By the mid-century, we may have artificial general intelligence (AGI) - machines that can achieve human-level performance on the full range of tasks that we ourselves can tackle.
If so, there's little reason to think it will stop there. Machines will be free of many of the physical constraints on human intelligence. Our brains run at slow biochemical processing speeds on the power of a light bulb, and their size is restricted by the dimensions of the human birth canal, It is remarkable what they accomplish, given these handicaps. But they may be as far from the physical limits of thought as our eyes are from the incredibly powerful Webb Space Telescope.
Once machines are better than us at designing even smarter machines, progress towards these limits could accelerate. What would this mean for us? Could we ensure a safe and worthwhile coexistence with such machines? On the plus side, Al is already useful and profitable for many things, and super Al might be expected to be super useful and super profitable. But the more powerful Al becomes, the more important it will be to specify its goals with great care. Folklore is full of tales of people who ask for the wrong things, with disastrous consequences-King Midas, for example, might have wished that everything he touched turned to gold, but didn't really intend this to apply to his breakfast
