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:

  1. 1, 2, 3 and 5 only
  2. 1, 3 and 4 only
  3. 2, 4 and 5 only
  4. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Answer

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

1. Bring down electricity consumption in industrial units — Correct. AI can optimize industrial processes, predictive maintenance, HVAC/load management, and energy use, thereby reducing electricity consumption.

2. Create meaningful short stories and songs — Correct. AI systems can generate coherent short stories, lyrics, and music; this capability already exists.

3. Disease diagnosis — Correct. AI is effectively used in medical imaging, pattern recognition, and clinical decision support for diagnosing diseases.

4. Text-to-Speech Conversion — Correct. AI-based speech synthesis is a well-established application and is widely deployed.

5. Wireless transmission of electrical energy — Correct. AI can be used to control, optimize, and improve wireless power transfer systems; the technology exists and AI can effectively support it.

Hence, all five are possible with the present state of development.
