NCA-AIIO Question 20
Single answerA team is developing a computer vision application that uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify images of animals. During a meeting, the team discusses whether their project falls under AI, machine learning, or deep learning. How should the team categorize their project?
- A
The project falls under artificial intelligence (AI) but not under machine learning or deep learning.
- B
The project falls under machine learning but not under artificial intelligence or deep learning.
- C
The project falls under both artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, but not deep learning.
- D
The project falls under artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and deep learning.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad field that encompasses any system capable of mimicking human intelligence. Machine learning is a subset of AI that focuses on systems learning patterns from data. Deep learning is a further subset of machine learning that uses neural networks, such as CNNs, to perform complex tasks like image classification. Since the project uses a CNN, it falls under all three categories: AI, machine learning, and deep learning.
- A. Incorrect.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the overarching field, but this option is incorrect because the project specifically uses a CNN, which is a deep learning technique.
- B. Incorrect.
Machine learning involves algorithms that allow systems to learn from data, but this option is incorrect because CNNs are a subset of deep learning, which itself is a part of machine learning.
- C. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because while the project falls under AI and machine learning, it also specifically uses deep learning techniques (CNNs).
- D. Correct.
This is the correct answer because the project involves a CNN, which is a deep learning technique. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, and machine learning is a subset of AI. Therefore, the project belongs to all three categories.
