A hospital is considering an AI system to assist in diagnosing diseases from patient data. The system must provide explanations for its decisions to satisfy regulatory requirements. Which limitation of many deep learning models is most relevant?

Inability to process large datasets

Which AI application is commonly used in autonomous vehicles?

Object detection and path planning

A company wants to build a recommendation system for its e-commerce platform. They have a large dataset of user purchase histories but no explicit ratings or preferences. The goal is to identify groups of users with similar buying patterns and recommend items based on what similar users bought. Which approach should they use?

Unsupervised learning to cluster users, then use collaborative filtering

Reinforcement learning to optimize recommendations over time

Deep learning with a classification layer to categorize items

Supervised learning to predict ratings from user features
