   A robotics company is developing a system to navigate warehouses. They have sensor data and need the robot to avoid obstacles in real time. They are considering a rule-based algorithm versus a machine learning model. What is the most important trade-off?

   • ARule-based algorithms require more data than machine learning models
   • BMachine learning models are easier to debug than rule-based systems
   • CRule-based algorithms are predictable and interpretable but may not handle novel situations as well as a learned model
   • DMachine learning models are always faster than rule-based algorithms

   A logistics company wants to use AI to optimize delivery routes. They have a dataset of past deliveries with timestamps, locations, and traffic conditions. They plan to use an algorithm that iteratively adjusts route parameters to minimize total travel time. What is the algorithm doing in this context?

   • AProcessing the delivery data to learn a pattern that maps inputs to optimal routes
   • BReplacing the need for historical data by using predefined rules
   • CGenerating new delivery data to improve the dataset
   • DStoring the delivery data in a structured format for future use

   A music app wants to create personalized playlists. They have listening history and user ratings. They plan to use a clustering algorithm. Which statement correctly describes the role of each component?

   • AThe model is the listening history, and the algorithm is the playlist output
   • BData and model are the same, and the algorithm is optional
   • CListening history is the data, the clustering algorithm groups similar users, and the model assigns new users to groups
   • DThe clustering algorithm is the data, and listening history is the model

   A weather forecasting agency wants to predict temperature from historical weather data. They decide to use a linear regression algorithm. What does the algorithm do with the historical data?

   • AIt randomly selects a few data points to make predictions
   • BIt creates a copy of the data for backup purposes
   • CIt stores the data in a new format for visualization
   • DIt finds the best-fit line that minimizes the difference between predicted and actual temperatures

   A government agency wants to use AI to screen job applications. They have historical hiring data that reflects past biases. They plan to use a machine learning model. What is the most important consideration?

   • AThe model may learn and amplify existing biases present in the training data
   • BThe model will be fair because it is based on data, not human judgment
   • CBias is not a concern because the algorithm is objective
   • DThe algorithm will automatically remove bias from the data
