Answers in 20 – 30 words each (2 x 4 = 8 marks)
Q.11 Any machine that has been trained with data and can make decisions/predictions on its 2
own can be termed as AI.
Eg:The bot or the automation machine is not trained with any data is not an AI while a
chatbot that understands and processes human language is an AI.
(1 mark for correct explanation; ½ mark for example of AI; ½ mark for example of not AI)

Q.12 In the given scenario, we are concerned about the bias. When we talk about a machine, we 2
know that it is artificial and cannot think on its own. It can have intelligence, but we cannot
expect a machine to have any biases of its own. Any bias can transfer from the developer
to the machine while the algorithm is being developed.
(1 mark for mentioning the term bias; 1 mark for the correct explanation)
Q13 Steps of AI project life cycle: 2

 (½ mark for mentioning each stage,½ *4=2)
Q.14 Stemming Lemmatization happily happi happy Process that takes longer time for execution 2
is lemmatization
(½ marks each for identifying the correct stem and lemma; 1 mark for identifying the
correct process)
Q.15 Bag of words gives us two things: 2
1. A vocabulary of words for the corpus
2. The frequency of these words (number of times it has occurred in the whole corpus)
(1 mark for each point)
Q.16 Let us take each of the factor into consideration at once, 2
If precision is considered, FN cases will not be taken into account, so it will be of great loss as if
the machine will predict there will be no heavy rain, but if the rain occurred, it will be a big
monetary loss due to damage to crops.
If only recall is considered, then FP cases will not be taken into account. This situation will also
cause a big amount of loss, as all people of the village are dependent on farmers for food, and
if the model predicts there will be heavy rain and the farmers may not grow crops, it will affect
the basic needs of the people.
Hence F1 Score is the best suited parameter to test this AI model, which is the balance
between Precision and Recall.
(1 mark for identifying the term F1 score; 1 mark for relevant explanation)
Answers in 50– 80 words each (4 x 3 = 12 marks)
Q.17 All humans possess 9 types of intelligence but at different levels. They are: 4

4 = 4)

Q18 Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to any technique that enables computers to mimic human 4

Q.21 A chatbot is a software application designed to simulate human conversation, allowing 4
users to interact through text or voice. It uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and
Machine Learning (ML) technologies to understand, process, and respond to user queries
in a conversational manner. Some chatbots are rule-based (responding to specific triggers),
while others use artificial intelligence to provide more nuanced and flexible responses.
Technology behind a chatbot:
1. Natural Language Processing (NLP) – helps chatbots understand and generate
human language.
2. Machine Learning (ML) – enables chatbots to learn from data, improving
responses over time.
Examples of Chatbots:
1. ChatGPT by OpenAI
2. Siri by Apple
Or any two chatbots
