AI - basic 1

Which of the following best describes Artificial Intelligence (AI) as introduced in the course?

• Programming simple arithmetic functions

• Making computers perform tasks that typically require human intelligence

• Building only simple search engines

• Restricting computation to deterministic tasks

According to the lecture, one way to define AI is making machines that:

• Only process input data without output

• Think and act like humans

• Avoid any human-like tasks

• Refuse to interact with external environments

Which perspective of AI focuses on creating models that think like humans through techniques such as introspection and psychological experiments?

• Acting rationally

• Thinking rationally

• Thinking like humans

• Acting like humans

Acting like humans in AI includes enabling machines to:

• Understand and generate natural language

• Restrict all reasoning to mathematical logic

• Only perform brute-force computations

• Ignore knowledge representation

Which area laid foundational theories for AI by considering human intelligence as mechanical processes?

• Philosophy

• Control Theory

• Linguistics

• Mathematics

In AI’s historical context, Search is considered:

• An optional technique hardly used in AI

• A fundamental technique used to explore possible solutions

• A method unrelated to problem-solving

• A minor aspect only for trivial tasks

Uninformed Search differs from Informed Search in that it:

• Uses domain-specific heuristics

• Has no knowledge of how close a state is to a goal

• Guarantees the best solution in zero time

• Is always more efficient than informed search

In the context of AI applications, Machine Learning involves:

• Human operators always supervising computations

• Systems that adapt from data and experience

• Ignoring past experience in making decisions

• Only dealing with simple arithmetic tasks

A Rational Agent in AI is one that:

• Acts to maximize expected utility based on its knowledge

• Ignores perceptions and acts randomly

• Copies actions from any human regardless of rationality

• Focuses solely on symbolic logic without action

Natural Language Processing (NLP) in AI deals primarily with:

• Designing robot hardware actuators

• Interpreting and generating human language

• Building only theorem provers

• Ignoring any semantics in conversation
