AI & ML Internship Weekend Assessment

Table of Contents Section A: AI Fundamentals (20 Marks) Q1. What is Artificial Intelligence? Explain in your own words. (3 Marks) Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think, learn, reason, and solve problems like humans. Instead of just following rigid, pre-written instructions, an AI system analyzes data, recognizes patterns, and makes autonomous decisions or predictions to achieve specific goals. Q2. Differentiate between: a) AI and Machine Learning (2 Marks) Artificial Intelligence is the broad, overarching umbrella concept of creating smart machines capable of mimicking human behavior. Machine Learning (ML) is a specific subset of AI that focuses on training algorithms to learn from data and improve their accuracy over time without being explicitly programmed. b) Machine Learning and Deep Learning (2 Marks) Machine Learning relies on structured data and often requires manual feature engineering (humans labeli…
