Professor A: The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was originally aimed exclusively at the construction of thinking machines, that is, computer systems with human like general intelligence. But the difficulty of this goal of general AI has led researchers to shift their focus to producing narrow AI systems: software displaying intelligence regarding specific tasks in relatively narrow domains such as chess. The problem is, narrow AI and general AI are fundamentally and entirely different pursuits. If modeling general intelligence is the objective, Al researchers must redirect themselves toward the original goals of the field and confront the more difficult issues of human-like intelligence.
Professor B: Narrow AI work is producing real results today, such as chess-playing programs that can defeat any human, programs that translate speech to text, and programs that can drive automated vehicles. Achievements in this field will continue to flow, and eventually narrow AI will lead to the creation of systems with general intelligence.
On the basis of the given information, select a claim that Professor A would most likely disagree with, and select a claim that Professor B would most likely disagree with. Select only two claims, one in each column.

VeritasKarishma GMATNinja - this is really a CR question in the IR format (but it's still a CR question)
For the 2nd column - i chose option F because professor B clearly said :
AI work is producing real results today, such as chess-playing programs that can defeat any human, programs that translate speech to text, and programs that can drive automated vehicles.
These programs that can drive automated vehicles / programs that translate speech / chess programs that can defeat any human -- all help real people (it not too much of stretch to think that a program that can drive automated vehicles will help people, I don't think )
Hence why not option F for the 2nd column.

"People" and whether "AI benefits people" is out of scope of the argument.
Professor B says
"Narrow AI work is producing real results today, such as chess-playing programs that can defeat any human, programs that translate speech to text, and programs that can drive automated vehicles.
This means that work in AI field has shown results - there are chess playing programs, programs that can translate speech to text and programs that can drive vehicles.
Are these programs benefitting people today? We don't know. Have they been commercialised? Are people finding them beneficial, we don't know. Are they even meant to benefit people, we don't know. All we know is that research in the field has shown results in the form of programs that are capable of performing these tasks.
Hence, we can say nothing about what the Professors feel about the 6th statement.

Professor B didn't said anything about welfare of people.So it can't be the answer.
Such questions reasoning resonates with the idea from general thing to specific example to specific example to general thing .
In OG you can find a lot of question on this concept.
so coming back to question .
Professor A : against of general to specific .
Professor B : support specific example to general thing.
For solution just reverse their analogy and you can have your answer.
