What is "Once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation"? It is the AI and not rapid advancement of AI. Here, we need to have right subject after the comma. Basis this, choices A, C and E can be eliminated. Further, the choice requires a contrast because it has a positive as well as negative. Hence, D can be eliminated. So, the answer would be B.

Once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, the rapid advancement of AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies has led to questions about the nature of work, the rights of machines, and revised definitions of life itself.

Meaning. The rapid advancement of AI technologies was portrayed as the engine of a future golden age. However, this rapid advancement in turn has led to questions pertaining to the nature of work, the rights of machines, and revised definitions of life.

(A) Once pportrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, the rapid advancement of AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies has led to questions about the nature of work, the rights of machines, and

CORRECT option, since it brings out the meaning appropriately

(B) While AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies were once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, their rapid advancement has led to questions about the nature of work and the rights of machines and to

slightly tweaks the meaning -- it says that 'AI technologies' were portrayed as the engine of a future golden age, while it is the 'rapid advancement of AI technologies' which is portrayed as the engine of a future golden age

(C) Although it was once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, the rapid advancement of AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies has led to questions about the nature of work, the rights of machines, and has

There is no requirement of using 'although' since contrast is not the essence brought out in the stimulus. Simultaneously, use of 'has' in the end is also inappropriate

(D) With AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, their rapid advancement has led to questions about the nature of work and the rights of machines and has

Similar to option (B) , it also alters the meaning -- it says that 'AI technologies' were portrayed as the engine of a future golden age, while it is the 'rapid advancement of AI technologies' which is portrayed as the engine of a future golden age. Also, the words 'with' and 'has' have been inappropriately placed

(E) Once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, the rapid advancement of AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies has led to questions about the nature of work and the rights of machines, and to


While it brings out the meaning correctly, the use of 'has' in the end is inappropriate


Meaning is the key..
(A) is the correct answer


Hope this helps..

(B) While AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies were once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, their rapid advancement has led to questions about the nature of work and the rights of machines and to --> Incorrect. Second part of parallelism, rapid advancement has led to revised definitions... seems awkward.

(C) Although it was once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, the rapid advancement of AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies has led to questions about the nature of work, the rights of machines, and has --> Incorrect. As mentioned above.

(D) With AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, their rapid advancement has led to questions about the nature of work and the rights of machines and has --> Correct. Meaning is intact with technologies portrayed as engine of a future golden age. Parallelism looks good with rapid advancement has led to questions... and has revised...

(E) Once portrayed as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation, the rapid advancement of AI, or artificial intelligence, technologies has led to questions about the nature of work and the rights of machines, and to --> Incorrect. As mentioned above.

Before jumping to finding grammatical errors in options, it is essential to have a basic understanding of the sentence. Otherwise in difficult questions jumping to find mechanical grammatical errors is like winking at a girl in the dark. Sincere but not profitable.
Layman meaning:
AI technologies were once thought of as the engine of a future golden age of robot assistants and convenient automation but their rapid advancement has led to to questions about the nature of work and the rights of machines and has revised definitions of life itself.
Errors:
A)
i) Incorrect modifier. It modifier rapid advancement of AI tech. Instead it should be modify AI tech
ii)//ism:
Logical: The sentence doesn't imply that AI tech led to questions about revising definition of life. The implied intent of author is that it Has revised definition of life itself
B) This was a tough one: Meaning error: Advancement of AI tech has not led to revised definitions of life, it has revised definitions of life. Both are pretty close but there is a subtle difference in the meaning.
C)
i) Modifier error as in A
ii) //ism error as in A
D) Correct choice
E)
i) Modifier error as in A
ii) Meaning error as in B
