Tutorial 1 – Artificial Intelligence (Topic 1:

Introduction)
Section A – Short Answer (Recall & Understanding)

1. Define Intelligence in your own words. How is it related to problem-solving?


2. What are the two main approaches in Artificial Intelligence? Explain briefly.
3. State four capabilities a computer must possess in order to pass the Turing Test.
4. Differentiate between thinking rationally and acting rationally. Provide one example
for each.
5. List three academic disciplines that contribute to the study of AI.

Section B – Conceptual Questions (C2 & C3 level)

6. Compare the definitions of AI that focus on human performance with those that focus
on rational performance.
7. Explain the significance of Alan Turing’s contributions to AI. Why is he considered
the father of modern computer science?
8. Discuss the scientific goal and the engineering goal of Artificial Intelligence. How are
they related but different?
9. “AI is multidisciplinary.” Justify this statement with examples.
Section C – Application & Case-based

10. Imagine you are designing a chatbot for a university helpdesk.

a) Which AI capabilities (from the Turing Test requirements) would be most important?
b) Explain why these capabilities are necessary for the chatbot to be effective.

11. Consider the historical development of AI:

a) What challenges led to the decline of neural network research between 1966–73?
b) How was this limitation later overcome?

12. Give a real-world example of how AI is applied in each of the following domains:

• Games
• Expert Systems
• Robotics

Section D – Critical Thinking (C4 level)

13. Some researchers argue that AI should aim to act like humans, while others argue it
should aim to act rationally.

• Which approach do you think is more beneficial for society? Justify your answer with
examples.

14. If you were to design a test more advanced than the Turing Test, what aspects of
intelligence would you include and why?
