Biologist: Some computer scientists imagine that all that is required for making an artificial intelligence is to create a computer program that encapsulates the information contained in the human genome. They are mistaken. The operation of the human brain is governed by the interactions of proteins whose structures are encoded in the human genome.
Which one of the following is an assumption required by the biologist's argument?
(A) The functions of the human brain are governed by processes that cannot be simulated by a computer.
(B) The interactions of the proteins that govern the operation of the human brain are not determined by the information contained in the human genome.
(C) The only way to create an artificial intelligence is to model it on the operation of the human brain.
(D) The amount of information contained in the human genome is too large to be easily encapsulated by a computer program.
(E) It is much more difficult to write a program that encapsulates the interactions of proteins than to write a program that encapsulates the information contained in the human genome.

No information indicates that the functions cannot be simulated by a computer
(B) The interactions of the proteins that govern the operation of the human brain are not determined by the information contained in the human genome.
Correct. Those proteins are decoded from the information contained in the human genome. However,
the information contained in the human genome doesn't determine the interactions of those proteins.
(C) The only way to create an artificial intelligence is to model it on the operation of the human brain.
The passage didn't indicate this information.
(D) The amount of information contained in the human genome is too large to be easily encapsulated by a computer program.
No information supports this choice
(E) It is much more difficult to write a program that encapsulates the interactions of proteins than to write a program that encapsulates the information contained in the human genome.
No information supports this choice

Making AI -> Computer Program -> Information in Human Genome
That's WRONG
Human Brain -> governed by protein -> encoded in Human Genome
What is the leap here? Or what is the "new" information that appears in the conclusion but no in the premise?
Ans: THE INTERACTIONS OF PROTEINS.
From this discussion, we can quickly save time by eliminating A, C, D. Let's analyze B & E, which contain the information about the interactions of the proteins.

(B) is the answer.

Quote:

If the interactions of the proteins are not determined by the in formation contained in the Human Genome, then replicating information in the human genome alone will not be able to help in creating AI. Missing those proteins, which govern the operation of the human brain, will not help in creating the brain of AI. This sounds promise. Lets keep this.Quote:
(E) It is much more difficult to write a program that encapsulates the interactions of proteins than to write a program that encapsulates the information contained in the human genome.
Nowhere in the argument tells us that it is harder to write one thing over the other. For this, (E) is out.(B) is the answer.
