PART A
1 Define AI.
Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science that deals with the
automation of intelligent behavior. Al gives basis for developing human like
programs which can be useful to solve real life problems and thereby become
useful to mankind.
2 Who is Rational Agent?
A rational agent is one that does the right thing. Here right thing is one that will
cause agent to be more successful. That leaves us with the problem of deciding
how and when to evaluate the agent's success.
3 Mention what an AI can do today?
Personalized Shopping.
AI-Powered Assistants.
Fraud Prevention.
Administrative Tasks Automated to Aid Educators.
Creating Smart Content.
Voice Assistants.
Personalized Learning.
Autonomous Vehicles.
4 Show the PEAS description for Interactive English tutor.
Agent: Interactive English tutor
Performance measure: •Maximize student's score on test
Environment: •Set of students
Actuators: •Screen display (exercises, suggestions, corrections) Sensors:
•Keyboard
5 Outline the algorithm for Table Driven Agent.
function TABLE-DRIVEN-AGENT(percept) returns an action
persistent: percepts, a sequence, initially empty
table, a table of actions, indexed by percept sequences, initially fully specified
append percept to the end of percepts
action ← LOOKUP(percepts, table)
return action
6 Write pseudo code agent program for the goal-based agent.
All they can do is generate successors and distinguish a goal state from a non-
goal state.
All search strategies are distinguished by the order in which nodes are expanded.
8 Justify Breadth First Search belong to uninformed Search Category.
Yes.
It follows greedy strategy
It gives out optimal answer
But time taken to arrive at the answer is more
9 List out various types of Environments.
Fully Observable vs Partially Observable.
Deterministic vs Stochastic.
Competitive vs Collaborative.
Single-agent vs Multi-agent.
Static vs Dynamic.
Discrete vs Continuous
10 What are the tasks of Artificial Intelligence?
➢ Mundane Task
➢ Formal Task
Expert Task
11 What things we should do to built a system?
• Define the problem precisely
• Analyze the problem
• Isolate and represent the task knowledge that is necessary to solve
the problem
• Choose the best problem solving technique
12 List down the characteristics of intelligent agent.
Internal characteristics are
– Learning/reasoning: an agent has the ability to learn from previous
experience and to successively adapt its own behavior to the
environment.
– reactivity: an agent must be capable of reacting appropriately to
influences or information from its environment.
– autonomy: an agent must have both control over its actions and
internal states. The degree of the agent’s autonomy can be specified.
There may need intervention from the user only for important decisions.
– Goal-oriented: an agent has well-defined goals and gradually
influence its environment and so achieve its own goals.
External characteristics are
– communication: an agent often requires an interaction with its
environment to fulfill its tasks, such as human, other agents, and arbitrary
information sources.
– cooperation: cooperation of several agents permits faster and better
solutions for complex tasks that exceed the capabilities ofa single agent.
– mobility: an agent may navigate within electronic communication
networks.
Character: like human, an agent may demonstrate an external behavior
with many human characters as possible.

• Define the problem precisely
• Analyze the problem
