Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the intelligence of machines. The term also refers to the developing field of computer science that is responsible for creating intelligent machines. Scientists and engineers are working on computer software intended to imitate the human thought process, such as learning
and reasoning. A computer can already do some things better than people, such as store information, solve numerical problems, and complete repetitive
tasks. Computers have been able to perform these kinds of tasks by using algorithms, which are clearly defined sets of instructions. In contrast, Al software
only presents a problem to the computer, not the steps necessary to solve the problem. The computer itself determines how to solve the problem.
Al programs contain two essential components. First, the computer program must contain a knowledge base that includes different types of information,
such as facts, concepts, and theories. The second component is enabling the computer to draw inferences, which means that the computer can form a
conclusion based on facts and knowledge. In this scenario, a computer with Al intelligence is presented with a problem to be solved. The computer then
searches its knowledge base for specific conditions or patterns that fit the problem to be solved. This ability of Al programs to solve a problem based on facts
rather than on a fixed series of steps is what mimics the thought process of a human brain.
Whether or not a computer can really think is still up for debate, even though there are numerous examples of machines that can be said to resemble
human intelligence. For example, IBM developed Deep Blue, a chess playing computer that defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997. However, even these kinds of

In this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift, which important issue does the writer deal with using a satirical tone? some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. but i am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. and as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. they cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come. a. old, sickly people cannot be hired as laborers because they don't have the physical stamina required for the job. b. old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens. c. the economy of the nation is burdened by the poor, the old, and the sickly who survive on charity and handouts. d. the living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation. reset next

How does edward covey attempt to break douglass’s spirit?

Read the passage. northfield is a model city in westport county. crime rates have dropped 28% in the last five years, and new business development has increased by 42% over the same period. there also has been significant growth in public services with the opening of our new northfield community center and the current construction of northfield park. unfortunately, proposition s now threatens to undo all that northfield has accomplished in recent years. proposition s intends to fund public services throughout westport county by taking 8.25% of all tax revenues away from city governments. although most people believe that more public services are needed, proposition s would only burden northfield and other cities with strong local governments and business-friendly policies. these city governments would be required to pay for public services in areas where local politicians have failed to find a way to fund their own projects. given the strength of northfield’s economy, approximately $12.3 million dollars of tax revenue would be redirected toward county projects. without this money in northfield’s budget, many programs at our new community center will have to be cut. this would affect more than 40,000 citizens of northfield, as well as 25,000 people who live outside our city and use the community center on a regular basis. the construction of northfield park, which also would be open to all county residents, would probably have to be put on hold. i am proud to join my fellow residents of northfield in urging all citizens of westport county to vote no on proposition s in the upcoming election. what is good for northfield is good for all of westport county. mr. nelson woo president of the northfield city council which sentence in the letter uses emotional appeal? given the strength of northfield’s economy, approximately $12.3 million dollars of tax revenue would be redirected toward county projects. what is good for northfield is good for all of westport county. crime rates have dropped 28% in the last five years, and new business development has increased by 42% over the same period. proposition s intends to fund public services throughout westport county by taking 8.25% of all tax revenues away from city governments.
