Artificial Intelligence - Exam Answers

Semester IV - AI Module 1 & 2

MVJ College of Engineering

Module 1 Answers (10 Marks)

1. What is AI? Explain the four dimensions definition of AI. (Diagram)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that focuses on creating intelligent machines

that can perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence.

Four Dimensions of AI:

1. **Thinking Humanly** - Cognitive Modeling approach.

2. **Acting Humanly** - Turing Test approach.

3. **Thinking Rationally** - Laws of Thought approach.

4. **Acting Rationally** - Rational Agent approach.

(Refer to the provided material for diagrams explaining these concepts.)

2. Explain the foundation of AI. (10 points)

The foundation of AI is based on multiple disciplines:

1. **Philosophy** - Rational decision-making and logical reasoning.

2. **Mathematics** - Algorithms, probability, and logic.

3. **Economics** - Decision-making and game theory.

4. **Neuroscience** - Understanding how the brain processes information.

5. **Psychology** - Study of cognitive processes and human behavior.

6. **Computer Engineering** - Designing efficient hardware for AI.

7. **Control Theory** - Cybernetics and system automation.

8. **Linguistics** - Natural language processing and understanding.


9. **Machine Learning** - Data-driven learning from patterns.

10. **Ethics** - Responsible development of AI technologies.

3. Explain the concept of rationality. (5M)

Rationality in AI refers to the ability of an agent to take actions that maximize its performance measure

based on available knowledge and percepts.

**Key Aspects of Rationality:**

- Rationality depends on the agent's performance measure.

- It considers prior knowledge and available actions.

- Rational agents aim for the best possible outcome in a given environment.

4. Write about the properties of the task environment. (5 properties) (5M)

The properties of a task environment define how an agent interacts with it:

1. **Fully Observable vs. Partially Observable** - Whether the agent has complete information about

the environment.

2. **Single-agent vs. Multi-agent** - Whether the agent operates alone or with others.

3. **Deterministic vs. Stochastic** - Whether actions lead to predictable outcomes.

4. **Episodic vs. Sequential** - Whether past actions influence future ones.

5. **Static vs. Dynamic** - Whether the environment changes while the agent is reasoning.

5. What is an agent program? Explain the types of agents with a diagram. (10M)

An **agent program** is software that determines how an agent perceives and acts in an environment.

**Types of Agents:**

1. **Simple Reflex Agents** - Act only based on the current percept.

2. **Model-Based Reflex Agents** - Maintain internal states for better decision-making.

3. **Goal-Based Agents** - Choose actions to achieve specific goals.


4. **Utility-Based Agents** - Optimize for the best possible outcome.

5. **Learning Agents** - Adapt their behavior over time based on experience.

(Refer to diagrams in the study material for visual representation.)

Module 2 Answers (10 Marks)

1. What is a problem-solving agent? Explain the steps in problem-solving.

A **problem-solving agent** is an AI system that searches for a sequence of actions to achieve a goal

state.

**Steps in Problem-Solving:**

1. **Goal Formulation** - Defining the desired outcome.

2. **Problem Formulation** - Modeling states and actions.

3. **Search** - Finding a path from the initial state to the goal state.

4. **Execution** - Carrying out the selected solution.

2. Explain the 8-puzzle problem and N-queens problem.

The **8-Puzzle Problem** consists of a 3×3 grid with numbered tiles and one empty space, where the

goal is to arrange tiles in a specific order by sliding them.

The **N-Queens Problem** requires placing N queens on an N×N chessboard so that no two queens

attack each other.

3. Explain the Vacuum World Problem.

The **Vacuum World Problem** is a simple AI scenario where an agent moves in a grid to clean dirt

using actions like 'move left', 'move right', and 'suck'. The goal is to reach a state where all cells are

clean.
