Which of the following is listed as a social media negative?

• A. AI
• B. Large audiences
• C. Free
• D. Diverse opinions

Answer: (A)

This item tests whether you can identify a technology-enabled risk that is commonly framed as a negative on social media. Artificial intelligence is singled out because it enables automated bots, deepfake content, and highly scalable manipulation or deception. These capabilities allow misleading information or targeted influence to spread quickly and broadly, raising concerns about trust, privacy, and the integrity of online discourse. In contrast, large audiences are simply a feature of social platforms that can amplify messages (often a positive or neutral aspect), being free lowers barriers to access (also usually positive), and diverse opinions can enrich discussion (generally a positive). So the technology behind these risks—artificial intelligence—fits the description of a social media negative.
