Passage 1: The rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in creative industries has
sparked a debate over intellectual property. Proponents argue that AI is merely a tool, like
a paintbrush, and the output belongs to the prompter. However, critics suggest that since AI
models are trained on millions of copyrighted artworks without consent, the generated
images are 'derivative works.' If the legal system sides with the critics, the economic
viability of AI companies could vanish overnight as they face trillions in licensing fees.
Question 1: What is the main conclusion of the passage?
A) AI is a tool similar to a paintbrush.
B) The future of AI companies depends on legal interpretations of copyright.
C) AI models should be trained only on public domain images.
D) Trillions of dollars are currently being lost by artists.
Answer: B
Question 2: Which of the following is an assumption made by the critics?
A) AI prompters do not have any creative talent.
B) Training a model on an image is legally equivalent to copying it.
C) AI companies have the money to pay licensing fees.
D) Paintbrushes do not require training on copyrighted material.
Answer: B
Question 3: Which of the following would STRENGTHEN the proponents' argument?
A) A study showing AI generates unique patterns never seen in the training data.
B) A law requiring AI companies to disclose their training sets.
C) A decrease in the stock price of major AI firms.
D) Evidence that artists are using AI to speed up their work.
Answer: A
Question 4: The author uses the phrase 'derivative works' to imply:
A) The work is highly original.
B) The work is based on and derived from existing copyrighted material.
C) The work is mathematically complex.
D) The work has no market value.
Answer: B

critics' argument is:
A) Strengthened
B) Weakened
C) Proven
D) Unchanged
