With the present state of development, Artificial Intelligence can effectively do which of the following?1. Bring down electricity consumption in industrial units2. Create meaningful short stories and songs3. Disease diagnosis4. Text-to-Speech Conversion5. Wireless transmission of electrical energy Science and Technology 547Select the correct answer using the code given below:

a1, 2, 3 and 5 only
b1, 3 and 4 only
c2, 4 and 5 only
d1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
✓ Correct answer: b) 1, 3 and 4 only
ExplanationStatement 1 is correct: AI-powered systems are used in smart grids and industrial automation to minimize electricity consumption.AI algorithms analyze energy consumption patterns and adjust systems in real-time to reduce waste and improve efficiency.Statement 2 is correct: AI advancements such as natural language processing (NLP) and generative models like GPT can create meaningful short stories and songs.Tools like OpenAI’s GPT-3 and AI music generators demonstrate the ability to produce creative content that resonates with human audiences.Note: UPSC did not consider this option as correct probably because Generative AI was not so advanced at that time.Statement 3 is correct: AI is widely used in healthcare for disease diagnosis.Machine learning algorithms analyze medical data such as imaging scans, genetic information, and patient records to detect diseases like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions with high accuracy.AI systems like IBM Watson and Google DeepMind are prominent examples.Statement 4 is correct: AI-powered text-to-speech (TTS) systems such as Google
