Question 4

Question 1Explain the significance of Artificial Intelligence in today's world.

Accepted Answer

Artificial Intelligence is being tested and used in the healthcare industry for dosing drugs, various other treatments and also for surgical procedures in the operating room. Apart from the above important applications, AI has been dominant in various other fields such as:GamingNatural Language ProcessingExpert SystemsVision SystemsSpeech RecognitionHandwriting RecognitionIntelligent Robots

Question 5

Question 2What do you understand by Internet of Things? List some of its potential applications.

Accepted Answer

Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of inter-related computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.The applications of IoT are as follows:Home AutomationSmart Medical DevicesSmart CitiesSecurity Systems

Question 6

Question 3(a)Write a short note on Cloud Computing.

Accepted Answer

Cloud computing is a technology of distributed data processing in which some scalable information resources and capacities are provided as a service to multiple external customers through the internet technology. It allows storing, accessing data and programs using the internet. There are broadly three types of clouds one can access:Public Cloud — It is defined as a public or common cloud service provided to multiple users on a network. Public cloud services are provided through a common portal or virtual platform owned and operated by a third party cloud provider.Private Cloud — Private cloud is a virtual private interface provided by an individual or owned by one organization.Hybrid Cloud — Hybrid cloud combines public and private clouds together by technology that allows data and applications to be shared between them.Cloud computing further consists of services such as:IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) — A computer infrastructure is typically presented in the form of physical and virtualized resources that provide consumers with the basic building blocks needed to run applications and workloads in the cloud.PaaS (Platform as a Service) — An integrated platform for the development, deployment, testing and support of web or mobile applications.SaaS (Software as a Service) — The business model of software license and software upgrades involves the development and support of the software vendor.DaaS (Desktop as a Service) — It involves delivering virtual apps and desktops to end-users over the internet.

Question 7

Question 3(b)Write a short note on Big data and its characteristics.

Accepted Answer

The term Big Data refers to a huge volume of data that cannot be stored and processed by any traditional data storage or processing units. Big data is generated on a very large scale and used by many multinational companies to process and analyze in order to uncover insights and improve the business of many organizations.The characteristics of Big Data are as follows:Volume — Big Data indicates huge volumes of data that is being generated on a daily basis from various sources like social media platforms, business processes, machines, networks, human interactions etc.Velocity — Velocity essentially refers to the speed at which data is being created in real time. In a broader sense, it comprises the rate of change, linking of incoming data sets at varying speeds and activity bursts.Variety — Variety of Big Data refers to structured, unstructured and semi-structured data that is gathered from multiple sources.Veracity — Veracity refers to the trustworthiness of the data because processing such incorrect data can give wrong results or mislead interpretations.Value — Big data is not only just a pile of data but it also possesses hidden patterns and useful knowledge which can be of high business value.

Question 8

Question 4(a)Explain Artificial Intelligence along with its applications.

Accepted Answer

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to an artificial creation of human-like intelligence that can learn, reason, plan, perceive or process natural language. The applications of Artificial Intelligence are endless. The technology can be applied to different sectors and industries. AI is being tested and used in the healthcare industry for dosing drugs, various other treatments and also for surgical procedures in the operating room. Apart from this, AI has been dominant in various other fields such as:GamingNatural Language ProcessingExpert SystemsVision SystemsSpeech RecognitionHandwriting RecognitionIntelligent Robots

Question 9
