1. How do you define AI?

In my opinion, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one specific field in computer science that involves the use of human-simulated machines to solve real-world problems.

2. Can you name at least three different sub-fields of AI?

- Natural language Processing

- Machine Learning

- Deep Learning

- Robotics

3. AI has been around since about 70 years so far. Why is it booming right now?

AI is on a rapid rise right now because it helps improving efficiency in the digital era with a large volume of data and information.

4. Can you name at least three application sectors where robots are being largely employed? What are the reasons?

- Agriculture: the use of AI will produce uniform quality in the aspect of production.

- Health service: can perform tasks requiring precision and objectiveness that humans cannot carry out.

- Publishing: perform simple writing tasks in a large amount and high speed.

5. Can you identify three major challenges for a wheeled autonomous robot performing a 24h surveillance task in a large facility? (e.g., something like Mall of Qatar)

- Power source problem.

- Perform a single task with little flexibility.

- Privacy is threatened because surveillance data can be corrupted or stolen.
