Answer Key
Artificial intelligence (AI)
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
B — A branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behaviour by computers
Q2
A — Computer science
Q3
A — It simulates it
Q4
A — False
Q5
B — Simulating intelligent behaviour
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
artificial intelligence → A branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behaviour by computers
Q2
simulation of intelligent behaviour → A computer imitating intelligent actions, such as making decisions, without being alive or thinking like a person
Q3
AI is a branch of computer science, so it is studied as part of computing, not as a separate living thing → AI = branch of computer science
Q4
A computer running AI only imitates intelligence, so it is not alive → alive = False
Q5
AI means the computer is alive and thinks like a human → AI does not make a computer alive. It only simulates intelligent behaviour.
Q6
AI = branch of biology → AI is a branch of computer science, not biology.
Section C: Definitions
Q1
artificial intelligence — A branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behaviour by computers. The computer imitates intelligence; it is not alive.Section D: Fill in the Blanks
Q1
AI is a branch of computer science.Q2
AI is the simulation of intelligent
behaviour by computers.Q3
A computer that uses AI is not alive.Q4
AI simulates intelligent behaviour.Q5
AI is a branch of computer science.Section E: Spot the Error
Q1
B — Strings cannot be joined with the minus sign. Use + to join the text, so AI is described as a branch of computer science.
Q2
A — The string is missing its closing quote. It should end with " after intelligence.
Q3
B — An if statement must end with a colon. It should be: if alive == False:
Q4
B — The + operator is missing between the text and the variable act. It should be: return "imitates " + act
Q5
D — AI does not mean the computer is alive. It only simulates intelligent behaviour, so the message should say it is simulated, not alive.
