social responsibility.#### 4.1 **Artificial Intelligence and Automation**AI and automation are
transforming industries, but they also raise important ethical and legal concerns. The ethical
issue revolves around the extent to which machines should make decisions that affect human
lives. For instance, autonomous vehicles raise concerns about how decisions will be made in life-
or-death situations. Who should be held accountable if an AI system makes an error? Legal
frameworks to regulate AI are still in their infancy, and establishing clear accountability and
liability for AI decisions remains a major challenge.#### 4.2 **Privacy and

0. Sets and Relations
√ √
1. { 3, — 3} 2. The set is empty.

3. {1, —1, 2, —2, 3, —3, 4, —4, 5, —5, 6, —6, 10, —10, 12, —12, 15, —15, 20, —20, 30, —30,
60, —60}

4. {—10, —9, —8, —7, —6, —5, —4, —3, —2, —1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}

5. It is not a well-defined set. (Some may argue that no element of Z+ is large, because every element
exceeds only a finite number of other elements but is exceeded by an infinite number of other elements.
Such people might claim the answer should be ∅.)

6. ∅ 7. The set is ∅ because 33 = 27 and 43 = 64.

8. It is not a well-defined set. 9. Q

10. The set containing all numbers that are (positive, negative, or zero) integer multiples of 1, 1/2, or
1/3.

11. {(a, 1), (a, 2), (a, c), (b, 1), (b, 2), (b, c), (c, 1), (c, 2), (c, c)}

12. a. It is a function. It is not one-to-one since there are two pairs with second member 4. It is not onto
B because there is no pair with second member 2.
b. (Same answer as Part(a).)
c. It is not a function because there are two pairs with first member 1.
d. It is a function. It is one-to-one. It is onto B because every element of B appears as second
member of some pair.
e. It is a function. It is not one-to-one because there are two pairs with second member 6. It is not
onto B because there is no pair with second member 2.
f. It is not a function because there are two pairs with first member 2.
