Introduction to AI
Study material for the midterm, including mock exams and real final exam questions from the fall 2023 semester. Study material from practical exercises is
not included, only exam questions.
Strong AI vs. Weak AI AI as Science vs. AI as Engineering
Mock exam question 1
Mary, Penelope, and John are discussing the field of artificial
intelligence (AI). John claims that AI is already a success because we
have created robots that solve problems. Mary, on the other hand,
claims that AI could fail if we discover that humans solve some
problems in ways that can’t be simulated using computers.
Penelope proposes that AI’s ultimate goal is to create machines
capable of thought, emotions, and consciousness. Based on the
views expressed above, match the different views of AI with the
correct person(s). Note that multiple views can be matched with
the same person.
Answers are at the end of the report.
,By artificial, we mean non-biological. Here it’s about the kind of stuff we use to build an agent.
By artificial, we mean constructed by humans. Here it’s all about the origin of the agent, and who designed and built it.
“Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world. Varying kinds and degrees of intelligence occur in
people, many animals, and some machines.” – John McCarthy.
Mock exam question 2
Match the following applications to the appropriate
definition:
1. Designing a robot vacuum cleaner that is optimized in

and methods from different disciplines, such as

languages, algorithms, etc.), linguistics (the study of
