Understanding Artificial Intelligence

A supermarket wants a system that learns from past sales to predict which items will sell more next week. According to the content, what makes this system Artificial Intelligence rather than simple automation?

• It turns on and off at set times using a timer

• It performs calculations using a fixed formula but does not adapt from new data

• It repeats the same pre-programmed schedule every week without changing

• It learns patterns from data and makes predictions rather than only following fixed rules

A school installs a basic electric fan that has three fixed speed buttons and behaves the same every day. Based on the content, why is this NOT considered AI?

• It uses electricity, which makes it an intelligent system

• It does not change behavior based on new information and does not learn from data

• It is a machine, and all machines are AI

• It has multiple settings, so it must be learning

A company uses a tool that automatically sends the same reminder email at 9:00 AM every day. Which description best matches this tool based on the “What is not AI?” section?

• General AI that can perform any intellectual task a human can

• Natural Language Processing system that understands and generates language from context

• Computer vision system that interprets images and videos

• Simple automation tool that performs a specific task without learning

A streaming service suggests movies based on your viewing history and similar users’ behavior. Which AI ability from the content is being applied in this scenario?

• Make predictions by analyzing data to recommend what you might like

• Work as fixed-function hardware that performs a task without learning

• Drive cars by sensing the road and making safety decisions

• Recognize images by identifying objects in photos

A team is building software that reads thousands of customer reviews and summarizes the main complaints into a short paragraph. Which AI domain best fits this task?

• Computer Vision

• Natural Language Processing (NLP)

• Data Science (only structured tables and spreadsheets)

A hospital uses a model to analyze X-ray images and flag possible diseases for doctors to review. Which AI domain best fits this application?

• Natural Language Processing (NLP)

• Computer Vision

• Data Science focused on numerical/alphanumeric data only

A bank wants to detect fraud by learning patterns in millions of past transactions (amounts, dates, merchant IDs) and predicting which new transactions are suspicious. Which AI domain best fits this work?

• Computer Vision

• Natural Language Processing (NLP)

• Data Science

A voice assistant can schedule meetings, answer simple questions, and control smart-home devices, but it cannot truly reason like a human across any intellectual task. According to the “Types of AI,” which level best describes this system?

• General AI

• Broad AI

• Narrow AI

Your team is organizing data for analysis. Which example is best described as semi-structured data from the notes?

• • A plain text document of customer comments with no labels

• • A social media video that includes hashtags used for categorization

• • A spreadsheet table of names, dates, and addresses

• • A folder of unlabelled photos with no tags or descriptions

An employee claims their office electric fan is AI because it has multiple speed settings. Which explanation best shows why this is incorrect?

• • It uses machine learning to adapt speed based on patterns in room usage.

• • It understands language commands and generates human-like responses.

• • It is a non-interactive system that does not change behavior based on new information.

• • It recognizes images to detect how many people are in the room.
