令和8年度 ITパスポート試験 問27
This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 27
Incorrectア
The statement that intelligence equivalent to a human is reproduced and it judges like a human matches the image of “strong AI” (general AI), which can handle a wide variety of tasks; it is not appropriate as a description of “weak AI”, which is limited to specific tasks.
- イ
正解 The correct answer is “イ”. A “weak AI” (narrow AI) is an AI that can give judgment results only within specific tasks such as image recognition or translation; it does not understand or think about the meaning of the question itself the way a human does. Its essence is that it merely “presents the result of a judgment” based on learned patterns, and this description best matches the characteristics of a “weak AI”.
Incorrectウ
The autonomous self-growth of being smarter than humans and improving its own judgment ability without human help corresponds to “strong AI” or even a concept beyond it; it is not a description of “weak AI”, which handles only specific tasks.
Incorrectエ
The general-purpose, flexible judgment ability of autonomously applying its own knowledge and abilities to judge flexibly is a characteristic of “strong AI” (general AI), and is the opposite of “weak AI”, whose tasks are limited.
- Grasp the contrast: “weak AI” (narrow AI) = handles only specific tasks and produces judgment results from patterns without understanding meaning; “strong AI” (general AI) = handles a wide variety of tasks flexibly and autonomously, like a human.
- Distinguish weak AI from strong AI by which side each option describes: “specific tasks vs. a wide variety of tasks” and “understanding meaning vs. merely presenting results”.
