Question 1

What is machine learning?

Accepted Answer

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of algorithms that allow computers to learn from and make predictions or decisions based on data.

Question 2

Which of the following business ideas is not using AI?

Accepted Answer

Best Buy's software system does not use AI, as it is simply a mathematical calculation to determine the number of customers needed to reach a specific gross profit target.

Question 3

Which of the following is a special-purpose knowledge based information system that accomplishes specific tasks on behalf of its users?

Accepted Answer

Intelligent agents are designed to perform specific tasks, such as data mining, knowledge discovery, and complex calculations, on behalf of users, making them a type of special-purpose knowledge-based information system.

Question 4

What is strong AI?

Accepted Answer

Strong AI refers to the concept of creating machines with human-like intelligence, capable of understanding, reasoning, and learning at a level comparable to human beings.

Question 5

What is the ability of a machine to see in dim light or to detect weak impulses at invisible wavelengths?

Accepted Answer

Machine vision sensitivity refers to the ability of a machine to detect weak signals or see in low-light conditions, which is the focus of the question.

Question 6

What is the ability of a computer to "see" by digitizing an image, processing the data it contains, and taking some kind of action?

Accepted Answer

Machine Vision refers to the technology and methods used to provide imaging-based automatic inspection and analysis for applications such as automatic inspection, process control, and robot guidance, typically in industry.

Question 7

What is a process that employs specialized algorithms to model and study complex datasets; the method is also used to establish relationships among data and datasets?

Accepted Answer

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with many layers (hence "deep") to model complex patterns in data. It is particularly effective for tasks like image recognition, natural language processing, and understanding the relationships within large datasets.

Question 8

What is the extent to which a machine can differentiate between objects?

Accepted Answer

Machine vision resolution refers to the ability of a machine to distinguish between different objects, which is determined by the clarity and detail of the images it processes.

Question 9

Which of the following offers an example of an intelligent agent that uses a multi-agent system?

Accepted Answer

A multi-agent system involves multiple intelligent agents interacting or working together to solve problems or perform tasks. All the given options can involve multi-agent systems, where different agents coordinate to manage logistics, distribution, or health responses.

Question 10

What is a computer-simulated environment that can be a simulation of the real world or an imaginary world?

Accepted Answer

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear to be real, making the user feel they are immersed in their surroundings. This environment is perceived through a device known as a virtual reality headset or helmet. VR allows users to interact with 3D worlds, simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, and even smell.

Question 11

What refers to a set of instructions that completes a task?

Accepted Answer

An algorithm is a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task or solve a particular problem, making it the correct choice.

Question 12

Teddy Gott loves playing a game called World of Warcraft where he has the capability to create his own character and even his own life-like environment. Which AI system would you categorize World of Warcraft?

Accepted Answer

World of Warcraft is categorized as a virtual reality system because it allows players to create and interact with a life-like environment.

Question 13

What is a type of artificial intelligence that enables computers to both understand concepts in the environment, and also to learn?

Accepted Answer

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. This involves computers learning from data to perform specific tasks.

Question 14

What machines can still make their own decisions based on reasoning and past sets of data?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What machines can still make their own...

Question 15

What is weak AI?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What is weak AI?
...

Question 16

What is an algorithm?

Accepted Answer

An algorithm is a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task or solve a particular problem, which aligns with choice A. Choices B, C, and D describe aspects of artificial intelligence and machine learning, not the definition of an algorithm.

Question 17

What is the viewing of the physical world with computer-generated layers of information added to it?

Accepted Answer

Augmented reality (AR) overlays digital information on the real-world environment, unlike virtual reality which creates a completely virtual environment.

Question 18

What is an optimizing system that can find and evaluate solutions with many more possibilities, faster and more thoroughly than a human?

Accepted Answer

Genetic algorithms are search heuristics that mimic the process of natural selection to generate high-quality solutions to optimization and search problems. They are capable of exploring a vast search space and finding optimal or near-optimal solutions faster than traditional methods, making them effective for problems with a large number of possibilities.

Question 19

What refers to the field of artificial intelligence that works toward providing brainlike powers to AI machines; in effect, it works to make machines as intelligent as the humans?

Accepted Answer

Strong AI refers to the field of artificial intelligence that aims to create machines capable of intelligent behavior that matches or surpasses human intelligence. This involves making machines understand, learn, and function in a way that is as sophisticated and adaptable as human thinking.

Question 20

What is a method whereby new problems are solved based on the solutions from similar cases solved in the past?

Accepted Answer

Case-based reasoning is a problem-solving method that uses the solutions from similar, previously solved cases to solve new problems. This approach is based on the understanding that similar problems have similar solutions.
