16
Q

Give an example of unsupervised learning.

A

Reviewing banking transactions for fraudulent behavior

The system looks for patterns or anomalies without predefined labels.

17
Q

What is reinforcement learning?

A

A type of machine learning where an AI system is rewarded for good performance and penalized for poor performance

It focuses on maximizing rewards over time.

18
Q

Give an example of reinforcement learning.

A

Self-driving cars that receive rewards for staying on the road

The system learns to improve its performance through trial and error.

19
Q

In supervised learning, data is _______.

A

labeled

This allows the AI system to learn from specific examples.

20
Q

In unsupervised learning, data is _______.

A

unlabeled

The system must identify patterns without direct guidance.

21
Q

In reinforcement learning, the AI system learns to _______.

A

maximize rewards

The learning process involves receiving feedback based on actions taken.

22
Q

What is the relationship between AI and society?

A

AI influences society and society influences AI.

23
Q

What is AI considered as?

A

AI is considered a socio-technical system.

24
Q

Who are relevant stakeholders to consider when working with AI?

A
  • Individuals from social sciences (e.g., anthropologists, sociologists)
  • Individuals who develop and implement AI systems.
25
Q

What are the risks associated with AI?

A

AI systems are implemented in vast, complex environments.

26
Q

Why may AI models need to be changed or upgraded?

A

The data used in AI will change over time.

27
Q

Fill in the blank: AI is a _______ system.

A

[socio-technical]

28
Q

True or False: The relationship between AI and society is one-sided.

A

False

29
Q

What must be done to reflect changes in the environment when using AI?

A

The model may need to be changed, upgraded, or both.

30
Q

What are the five dimensions used to classify AI systems?

A
  • People and planet
  • Economic context
  • Data and input
  • AI model
  • Tasks and output

These dimensions help in understanding the various aspects and implications of AI systems.

31
Q

What does the ‘People and planet’ dimension focus on?

A

Identifying individuals and groups affected by the AI system, including human rights, environment, and society.

Privacy is also a significant consideration in this dimension.

32
Q

How is the ‘Economic context’ dimension characterized?

A
  • Sector of operation (e.g., financial, healthcare, education)
  • Business function or model
  • Necessity of the AI system
  • Deployment impact
  • Scale of the system

Technological maturity indicates how tested the AI system is based on historical data.

33
Q

What factors are considered under the ‘Data and input’ dimension?

A
  • Type of data used
  • Expert input codified into rules
  • Data collection method (machine or human)
  • Structure of the data
  • Data format

Expert input refers to human knowledge incorporated into the AI model.

34
Q

What does the ‘AI model’ dimension discuss?

A

The technical type of the model and how it is built and used.

This dimension addresses the underlying algorithms and methodologies employed in the AI system.

35
Q

What characteristics are included in the ‘Tasks and output’ dimension?

A
  • Tasks performed by AI systems
  • Outputs generated
  • Resulting actions from outputs
  • Evaluation methods for performance

This dimension assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of AI systems in executing their designated tasks.

36

A

True

The OECD provides a framework for understanding the implications of AI systems.

37
Q

Fill in the blank: The ‘Data and input’ dimension includes characteristics such as _______ and data format.

A

type of data used

Understanding the data used is crucial for assessing AI system performance and reliability.
