Computer Decision Making Challenges

The video tutorial discusses the challenges faced by computer-based systems in decision making, focusing on issues like inadequate information and low accountability. It highlights how computers rely on direct data input, unlike humans who can deduce information from context. The tutorial also addresses the difficulty in attributing accountability to computers for their decisions.

What is a primary characteristic of computer-based systems?

• They are manual.

• They are human-operated.

• They are electronic.

• They are unreliable.

Why might computers face challenges in decision making?

• They are too fast.

• They require specific information.

• They are too expensive.

• They are too complex.

What is a potential issue with relying on computers for decision making?

• They are too slow.

• They lack human intuition.

• They are too emotional.

• They are too intuitive.

How does the need for specific information limit computers?

• It enhances their creativity.

• It restricts their decision-making ability.

• It makes them more reliable.

• It makes them faster.

How does inadequate information affect decision making?

• It is irrelevant to decision making.

• It can be a problem for both computers and humans.

• It is not a problem for humans.

• It only affects computers.

What is a key difference between how computers and humans process information?

• Humans cannot deduce information.

• Humans rely solely on logic.

• Computers can deduce information.

• Computers can only use direct information.

Why might humans be better at deducing information than computers?

• Humans have more data.

• Humans are more logical.

• Humans can interpret context.

• Humans are faster.

What is a logical aspect of computer-based decision making?

• Computers use direct information for logic.

• Computers rely on intuition.

• Computers can guess outcomes.

• Computers can interpret emotions.

What is meant by 'low accountability' in computer-based decision making?

• Computers are always accountable.

• Computers can be easily blamed.

• It is difficult to assign blame or praise to computers.

• Computers can be praised.

What is a challenge in holding computers accountable for decisions?

• They are too predictable.

• They are too transparent.

• They lack human attributes.

• They are too consistent.
