Question Paper from: SBI PO Mains 2017

Impact of Artificial Intelligence

A) Artificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI (or weak AI), in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car). However, the long - term goal of many researchers is to create general AI (AGI or strong AI). While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task.

B) Autonomous weapons are artificial intelligence systems that are programmed to kill. In the hands of the wrong person, these weapons could easily cause mass casualties. Moreover, an AI arms race could inadvertently lead to an AI war that also results in mass casualties.                       

Women empowerment

A) With the slogan of women empowerment, the question arises that “are women become really strong” and “is long - term struggle has ended”. Many programmes have been implemented and run by the government such as International Women’s day, mother’s day, etc in order to bring awareness in the society about the true rights and value of the women

in the development of the nation. Women need to be progressed in the number of spheres.

B) There is a high level of gender inequality in India where women are ill - treated by their family members and outsiders. Women in India are always subjected to the honour killings and they never given their basic rights for the proper education and freedom. They are the victims who have faced violence and abuse in the male - dominated country.

C) Giving priority to the gender equality facilitates women empowerment all over the country. To get the high - level goal of women empowerment, it should be promoted from the childhood in each and every family. It needs women to be strong physically, mentally and socially.

Competition in the e - commerce sector

A) All of us want to come out on top. We want to see others subordinated to our superiority. Our goal is to dominate. If you do not secretly, or overtly, harbor this desire, then you should not be in e-commerce. If you see some good ideas, note them, and implement them on your own site.

B) If you want to beat your competition, you are going to have to establish the best supply chain and maintain the best wholesaler relationships. This does not always mean the cheapest source. If you choose the cheapest wholesaler or distributor, you may end up compromising on quali ty or reliability.

C) The market for e -commerce solutions is extremely competitive and we may find ourselves unable to compete effectively. Because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the e-commerce market, we expect continued intense competition as current competitors expand their product offerings and new competitors enter the market.
