Select all statements that correctly distinguish training from inference in an AI system.
- A
Training uses data to build or adjust a model.
- B
Inference uses a resulting model on new input.
- C
Training is the process of applying a completed model to new input.
- D
Inference means writing all of a system’s rules by hand.

A troubleshooting tool follows only explicit rules supplied by people. A user reports a problem that none of those rules address. Which limitation is most likely?
- A
It learns how to handle the case automatically from examples.
- B
It can always infer the intended response, even without a relevant rule.
- C
It may struggle because its supplied rules do not cover the new situation.
- D
It becomes a learning-based system as soon as a case is unfamiliar.

An organization plans to use an AI system in decisions that could significantly affect people. Select all considerations that support responsible development and use.
- A
Provide human oversight for consequential decisions.
- B
Check for fairness concerns and possible bias in data or outcomes.
- C
Pay attention to privacy and accountability.
- D
Assume the system’s output is correct whenever it sounds confident.
- E
Avoid reviewing impacts on people because the system is automated.

Which description best matches the definition of an AI system presented in the material?
- A
Any computer program that follows fixed instructions
- B
A system that makes predictions, recommendations, or decisions based on human-defined objectives
- C
A machine that necessarily thinks and understands exactly as a person does
- D

A route-finding program compares possible paths and selects one that meets a travel-time criterion. Which AI concept best describes this process?
- A
Classification, because each route is assigned a category
- B
Training, because every possible path must be a data example
- C
Search and planning, because possible paths are compared to find one meeting the travel-time criterion
- D
Inference, because any output from a program is inference

An email filter examines each incoming message and labels it as spam or not spam. Which AI task is the filter performing?
- A
It performs route planning by comparing possible paths.
- B
It performs classification by assigning each message to a category.
- C
It trains a model each time it processes a message.
- D
It uses only a fixed rule and therefore cannot be an AI system.

Which statement correctly distinguishes an algorithm from a model in artificial intelligence?
- A
An algorithm is the representation used to produce an output; a model is a procedure for processing information.
- B
An algorithm is a procedure for processing information or solving a problem; a model is a learned or constructed representation used to produce an output.
- C
An algorithm and a model are both names for the data used by a system.
- D
An algorithm is the output of a system; a model is the goal the system is trying to reach.

A company has already built a model from past examples. It now feeds a new customer message into the model to get a prediction. What process is taking place?
- A
The system is performing inference.
- B
The system is performing training.
- C
The system is performing classification only if it changes the model.
- D
The system is building an explicit rule set rather than using a model.

A troubleshooting system must follow a precise safety rule but also recognize likely faults from past cases. Which design best fits these requirements?
- A
Use only explicit rules, since learning-based systems cannot handle complex patterns.
- B
Use only a learned model, since explicit rules cannot be part of an AI system.
- C
Replace both methods with a basic calculator, because fixed operations are always AI.
- D
Combine explicit rules for specified conditions with a learned model for patterns in examples.
