Questions

  1. Given that we started the chapter on a light note and ended up talking about robot phobia and philosophical questions about existence, do you feel that AI is a threat? Why or why not?
  2. List five professions that would be necessary to turn our Albert robot into a product company.
  3. If we imagine a company that was going to put Albert the robot into production, would it need a psychologist? For the robot, or for the humans?
  4. What components found in cell phones or smartphones are also found in quadcopters?
  5. Why are AI systems, specifically ANNs, naturally non-deterministic in terms of results and time?
  6. What might be a practical application of an AI system that predictably makes mistakes?
  7. If an AI system was picking stocks for you and predicted a winning stock 43% of the time, and then you had a second AI that was 80% accurate at determining when the first AI had not picked a good stock, what percent of the time would the AI combination pick a profitable...
