What term refers to AI that is designed to operate within a single domain or task area?

• A. Artificial Intelligence
• B. Artificial Narrow Intelligence
• C. Artificial General Intelligence
• D. Unsupervised Learning

Answer: (B)

The key idea tested is the scope of an AI system’s capabilities. An AI designed to operate within a single domain or task area is called Artificial Narrow Intelligence. This term highlights specialization—the system excels at one narrow set of tasks, such as recognizing faces, translating within a limited language pair, or filtering spam—yet it cannot readily handle tasks outside that specific domain. This is different from general AI, which would be capable of broad, human-like understanding across many domains, and from the broader field of AI itself. It’s also not a description of a learning method like unsupervised learning, which refers to how the system learns from data rather than what range of tasks it can perform. So the correct term for AI restricted to a single domain is Artificial Narrow Intelligence.
