With the present state of development, Artificial Intelligence can effectively do which of the following?

1. Bring down electricity consumption in industrial units
2. Create meaningful short stories and songs 
3. Disease diagnosis 
4. Text-to-Speech Conversion 
5. Wireless transmission of electrical energy
   
   

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Explanation: 

• Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer or a robot controlled by a computer to do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and discernment.
  
  
• It has multiple uses across different sectors. They include:

• • Voice Assistants and Text to Speech services. So, point 4 is correct.
  • Personalized Learning
  • Autonomous Vehicles 
  • Spam Filters 
  • Facial Recognition  
  • Navigation 
  • Inventory management 
  • Detection of diseases. So, point 3 is correct. 
  • Identification of nutrient deficiencies in the soil 
  • Self driving vehicles 

• Energy effiiciency. So, point 1 is correct.

• However, their application is limited at the present level. They are yet to explore areas such as creating meaningful short stories and songs and transmit wireless electrical energy. So, points 2 and 5 are not correct.
  
  

Therefore, option (2) is the correct answer.
