Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. A route planner searches possible journeys using explicit rules. What does this illustrate about AI?
   • Every AI system must learn from labeled examples
   • An AI approach can use rules and search without a neural network
   • A route-planning interface proves human-like understanding
   • Rule-based search is the same process as training a classifier
2. Machine learning is best described as which relationship to AI?
   • A subfield within AI that learns patterns from data
   • The hardware component that runs an AI system
   • A separate term for expert systems
   • An output format used only for text
3. A delivery service estimates arrival times from route and traffic data. What should a user understand about that output?
   • It proves the system understands every traffic situation
   • It is an exact schedule that cannot change
   • It is a prediction from inputs, not a guarantee
   • It only counts as AI if a neural network produced it
4. A team is choosing between two AI tools for an ambiguous support task. Which comparison follows the guide?
   • Compare interface style and choose the more conversational tool
   • Evaluate only familiar examples because they are easiest to score
   • Choose the larger model before testing
   • Test fresh and ambiguous requests, and weigh the cost of errors
5. A photo organizer labels familiar pictures well. Which next check addresses a limit described in the guide?
   • Try unfamiliar or ambiguous pictures and review important errors
   • Assume every future picture will be labeled correctly
   • Treat familiar examples as proof that it understands all objects
   • Remove human review because the first results look convincing
6. According to the guide, why can fluent chatbot text still be wrong?
   • It checks each statement against sources before producing text
   • Its confident style shows the information was verified
   • It can produce likely-sounding text without checking whether claims are true
   • It only generates answers copied from one fixed encyclopedia
7. A writing assistant creates new paragraphs from a prompt. Which term describes AI that produces new content?
   • A system that only retrieves prewritten paragraphs
   • A rule-based template that fills fixed blanks
   • Generative AI
   • A classifier that chooses among existing labels
8. Before publishing an assistant’s paragraph with names and dates, what responsibility remains with the author?
   • Trust the paragraph if it reads fluently
   • Check that the names, dates and cited sources are accurate
   • Ask the model to add citations without checking them
   • Review only the paragraph’s tone
