Question 1
We are living in a world where technology has overtaken everything. Sometimes machines can react and act like normal human beings but only if they have sufficient information concerning the world. Artificial intelligence is that section of computer science that majors on the creation of the intelligent machines that can react and act like human beings. This branch always aims to build some intelligent machines. The artificial intelligence of late has become an integral part of the modern technology. Any kind of research associated with the use of artificial intelligence is specialized and highly technical. That’s the main reason many companies are adopting artificial intelligence in their work.
Question 2
Artificial intelligence is designed to do something that is devastating. Some of the world most dangerous weapons are artificial like nuclear weapons. These weapons are programmed in a manner to kill human beings. When these weapons are in the hands of dangerous people they can easily cause mass destruction to human beings. We are in a world where there is a lot of supremacy battles between different countries. This supremacy has led to the creation of dangerous weapons that can wipe the entire world in few minutes. Artificial intelligence is being used to make these dangerous chemicals and weapons (Russell et al, 34).
Artificial intelligence is designed in a way to achieve something beneficial.

In the process, it usually develops a dangerous and destructive method when achieving its goals. This normally happens when the goals of AI and ours do not match and this is dangerous to lives of people. Technology is good to humans beings but when it is used negatively it can cause a very big mess.
The increase in memory, speed, communication ability and capacity allows computers to do extraordinary things. This advanced technology is dangerous to people. Some of the biggest crimes today are being committed through the use of computers. The terrorist are using advanced technology to cause harm to innocent human beings and this has been contributed by artificial intelligence. Some of the world most dangerous criminals use improved technology like computers to execute their plans. And it is only this technology that can be used to track and stop them.
Question 3
An agent can be defined as something or anything that is able to perceive its immediate environment through the use of sensors and immediately act on that environment through the use of effectors. The agent is mandated to use the sensors, observe and act on the environment using some actuators. The agents act directly in its activity with the sole purpose of achieving a specific objective.
Question 4
An agent is usually multiple combinations of architecture and agent program. Agent program is a special program mandated to implement the mapping from the usual percepts to actions. On the architecture, it is a form of a computing machine that is used to operate the agent program. The structure of agent contains
1. Utility-based agents
2. Simple reflex agents
3. Goal-based agents
4. Model-based reflex agents.
Agents usually have different components, and they can be represented in different ways within the agent program, making it have different varieties when it comes to learning methods.
Question 5
Reactive agent-Reactive agents work to retrieve some of the present behaviors that are similar to reflexes but without maintaining any kind of internal state. Therefore, mostly the work of a reactive agent is to retrieve.
Interface agent-This type of agent’s acts as a helper. It is a type of a computer program that’s applying different techniques in order to provide some assistance to a computer user with a similar problem. In short interface, agents help other computer user experiencing the same problem.
Mobile agent- when in need of a difficult problem you need computer intelligence. A mobile agent is composed of different data and software. While working it is able to move from one machine to another autonomously while still continuing with its execution on the targeted computer. It is usually coded meaning it travels in its own network.
Part B
Part 1
Distance between some of the nodes in A is most likely to be lesser than the distance in layer 2 of the nodes.
BCE (G, s) //Where A is the graph and E is the source node
let A be queue.
A.enqueue( a ) //Inserting s in queue until all the neighbour vertices are marked.
mark B as visited.
while ( A is not empty)
//Removing that vertex from queue,whose neighbour will be visited now
B = A.dequeue( )
//processing all the neighbours of v
for all neighbours B of F in Graph G
if C is not visited
A.enqueue( w ) //Stores F in G to further visit its neighbour
mark A as visited.
