Accepted Answer

AI applications can be grouped under cognitive science, robotics, and natural interfaces, but not linguistics. Linguistics is a field of study related to language and does not necessarily involve the implementation of AI technology.

Question 3

All of the following are attributes of intelligent behavior that AI attempts to duplicate except:

Accepted Answer

While AI can simulate and recognize emotions to some extent, it does not attempt to duplicate emotions themselves as an attribute of intelligent behavior.

Question 4

Which of the following represents knowledge in the form of past performance, occurrences, and experiences?

Accepted Answer

Case-based reasoning involves using past cases, experiences, and performances to solve new problems. This type of knowledge is stored and retrieved based on similarity to past cases. Frame-based knowledge is organized around a set of properties that define a concept or object, object-based knowledge involves organizing knowledge around objects and their attributes, and rule-based knowledge involves using rules and logic to make decisions. None of these options specifically involve using past performance and occurrences.

Question 5

Which of the following is an example of an unstructured data source?

Accepted Answer

E-mail is an example of unstructured data source as it contains unstructured text messages, which are not organized in a specific format. ERP and CRM databases are structured sources as they contain organized data in specific formats. "Other databases" is a vague option as it can refer to both structured and unstructured databases.

Question 6

Internal enterprise information portal applications typically include access to all of the following except:

Accepted Answer

Internal enterprise information portal applications typically include access to e-mail and project websites, human resources web self-services, and corporate databases. However, they typically do not include access to external internet news services, as these are not directly relevant to the company's internal operations and decision-making processes.

Question 7

Which of the following represents knowledge in the form of statements of fact, typically in the form of premise and conclusion?

Accepted Answer

Rule-based knowledge consists of statements of fact in the form of premise and conclusion. This type of knowledge is used to make logical deductions based on a set of rules or conditions. The other options (A, B, and C) all involve storing knowledge in different formats, such as cases, frames, or objects, but not in the form of rules.

Question 8

Which of the following represents knowledge in the form of a network of data elements including both the data and the methods/processes that act on those data?

Accepted Answer

Object-based knowledge represents knowledge in the form of a network of data elements including both the data and the methods/processes that act on those data.

Question 9

Which of the following represents knowledge in the form of a hierarchy or network of collections consisting of a complex package of data values describing its attributes?

Accepted Answer

Frame-based knowledge represents knowledge in the form of a hierarchy or network of collections consisting of a complex package of data values describing its attributes.

Question 10

Decision support in business is changing, driven by all of the following except:

Accepted Answer

The other options listed (B, C, D) all relate to technological advancements that are driving the changes in decision support. Option A about changing corporate spending patterns does not directly relate to technological advancements in decision support.

Question 11

All of the following would be considered an AI application in the natural interface group except:

Accepted Answer

The answer of All of the following would be considered...

Question 12

Which of the following artificial intelligence applications can learn by processing sample problems and their solutions?

Accepted Answer

Neutral networks can learn by processing sample problems and their solutions. They are modeled on the structure of the human brain and can use the input to modify the connections between the various neurons in order to improve performance over time. Knowledge-based systems, expert systems, and fuzzy logic systems do not have this learning capability.

Question 13

A(n) _______________ is a Web-based interface and integration of MIS, DSS, EIS, and other technologies that gives all intranet users and selected extranet users access to a variety of internal and external business applications and services.

Accepted Answer

An enterprise information portal (EIP) is a web-based platform that integrates various information systems, such as MIS, DSS, and EIS, among others, to provide users with access to a variety of internal and external business applications and services. This platform is designed to provide easy access and dissemination of information to all users within an organization, including selected external users.

Question 14

Which of the following is an example of a robotics application of AI?

Accepted Answer

Machine-vision inspection systems for gauging, guiding, identifying, and inspecting products and providing competitive advantage in manufacturing involves the application of robotics and AI to enhance accuracy and efficiency in product inspection. The other options mentioned do not involve robotics specifically.

Question 15

According to the text, an enterprise knowledge portal has all of the following except:

Accepted Answer

The text mentions that an enterprise knowledge portal has personalized views of news and data, collaboration tools, and community work areas, but does not mention desktop publishing tools.

Question 16

By targeting customers who are already known to be likely buyers, the effectiveness of a given marketing effort is significantly increased-if the marketing takes the form of _______________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of By targeting customers who are already known...

Question 17

According to the textbook case, Warner Home Video is using _______________ to forecast the number of video disks going to retail stores.

Accepted Answer

The textbook case mentions that Warner Home Video is using business intelligence applications to forecast the number of video disks going to retail stores. Specifically, they are using a data warehousing system and analytical tools to track sales trends and patterns, and adjust inventory levels accordingly.

Question 18

Artificial intelligence is a science and technology based on:

Accepted Answer

Artificial intelligence is a multidisciplinary field that combines principles from computer science, biology, psychology, linguistics, mathematics, and many other subjects. Therefore, all of the given choices are correct.

Question 19

Who was the British AI pioneer responsible for proposing a test for determining if machines could think?

Accepted Answer

Alan Turing proposed the Turing test in his 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" as a way to evaluate whether or not machines could exhibit human-like intelligence.

Question 20

All of the following would be considered an AI application in the robotics group except:

Accepted Answer

Neural networks are a type of machine learning algorithm and a component of AI technology, but they are not an application in robotics. Instead, they are used within various applications, including robotics, for tasks like pattern recognition and decision making. Applications in robotics specifically refer to tasks robots perform, such as visual perception, locomotion, and navigation.
