QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Artificial intelligence (AI) - CORRECT ANSWER machine-driven, human-like
intelligence and problem-solving systems
Intelligence - CORRECT ANSWER the ability to understand, apply knowledge, and
solve complex problems
Rationality - CORRECT ANSWER the ability to make sound decisions
Turing test - CORRECT ANSWER a thought experiment that decides a computer's
ability to respond as a human
Natural language processing - CORRECT ANSWER a computer's ability to
communicate in human language
Knowledge representation - CORRECT ANSWER the ability to store information
Automated reasoning - CORRECT ANSWER the computer's ability to answer
questions and draw new conclusions
Machine learning (ML) - CORRECT ANSWER the field of study that gives computers
the ability to learn from data without being explicitly programmed
Total Turing test - CORRECT ANSWER evaluates a machine's intelligence by

observations
AI observation sentence - CORRECT ANSWER a statement generated by an AI
system based on its analysis of data, reflecting the AI's interpretation of observed patterns or
trends

humans and valid based on legitimate authority
Neural networks - CORRECT ANSWER computational models inspired by the human
brain, consisting of interconnected layers of nodes that process and learn from data to
recognize patterns and make predictions
Ethical artificial intelligence - CORRECT ANSWER considers that the study and use
of AI technologies should follow ethical rules to ensure fairness, transparency, and
accountability
Agent - CORRECT ANSWER anything that can be viewed as perceiving its
environment through sensors
Environment - CORRECT ANSWER the part that affects what an agent perceives
, Actuators - CORRECT ANSWER a device that causes motion (robotic movement)
Percept - CORRECT ANSWER the content of an agent's sensors
Percept sequence - CORRECT ANSWER the history of everything an agent has
perceived
Agent function - CORRECT ANSWER maps percept sequence to actions
Task environment - CORRECT ANSWER specific setting or context in which an AI
agent operates and performs its designated tasks
PEAS - CORRECT ANSWER performance, environment, actuators, sensors
Software agent - CORRECT ANSWER a computer program that acts for another user
or program in a relationship with an agent
Softbot - CORRECT ANSWER a program that issues commands within a software
environment and interprets feedback
Fully observable - CORRECT ANSWER occurs when sensors detect all aspects that
are relevant to the choice of an action
Partially observable - CORRECT ANSWER occurs when parts of a state are missing
from sensor data
Unobservable - CORRECT ANSWER when an agent has no sensors
Single agent - CORRECT ANSWER one agent performing a task
