All of the above Intellectual property is work that is the result of someone's creativity and knowledge, such as music, writing, and software, and that is protected by copyright law and documented by copyrights, patents, and trademarks.

All of the following are current focuses of AI research EXCEPT: natural language processing. knowledge representation. perception. cognitive surplus

Cognitive surplus. AI's central goals can be grouped into the following categories: Natural Language Processing, perception, knowledge representation, planning, problem solving, and learning.

Analyzing computer systems with specific techniques designed to gather legal evidence is known as

Computer forensics. Computer forensics analyzes computer systems with specific techniques to gather potential legal evidence. In many cases, files, videos, and conversations conducted using a computer can be recovered by forensics specialists and can be used as evidence of criminal activity.

Which of the following actions would NOT help to identify your personal ethics?

Conduct a genealogic study of your extended family. As discussed in the text, you can follow these steps to help yourself define a list of personal values (ethics): 1) Describe yourself, 2) List the key principles you believe in, 3) Identify external influences, 4) Consider why and 5) Prepare a statement of values.

Sophisticated modeling software is helping international researchers

Increase the pace of research in finding and producing vaccines. With newer scientific visualization tools, scientists are developing antibodies for flu viruses and even HIV, viruses that are difficult to target because they continually change shape. Computationally intense modeling software is helping researchers increase the pace of vaccine production.

Social Media

Is incorporated as part of a political strategy by many politicians. Many political issues, like Britain's Brexit vote, are fought in large part on social media battlegrounds.

Examples of crowdfunding and crowdsourcing include

Kickstarter and ScanLife. Crowdfunding is a way of generating capital to start a business by asking for small donations from a large number of people, often using the Internet. Websites like Kickstarter allow people to post their ideas for community projects, games, and inventions and to ask for funding directly. Crowdsourcing involves gathering opinions from large groups of people to provide better services or products. Apps like ScanLife are used to check people's opinions on the quality of items.

Web 2.0 has led to a shift from just consuming content toward

Producing content Web 2.0 has fostered a dramatic shift across the world, from simply consuming to having the ability to volunteer and collaborate on projects. Web 2.0 application tools have features and functionality that allow users to contribute content easily.

Bike-sharing programs like Citi Bike are an example of

a subscription style business model made possible by technology. Even the idea of ownership is evolving, thanks to new technologies. Items like cars and bikes can become "subscriptions" instead of large one-time purchases. For example, Zipcar allows hundreds of thousands of people to use shared cars, while Citi Bike facilitates the sharing of bicycles.

The branch of computer science that focuses on creating computer systems that have an ability to perform tasks that are usually associated with human intelligence and that are (or were) generally performed by humans is known as:

artificial intelligence. Any computer program (or computer-controlled device) that accomplishes something normally thought of as intelligence by humans is considered to have artificial intelligence.

Being computer literate includes being able to

avoid spam, adware, and spyware, use the web effectively, and diagnose and fix hardware and software problems Computer literacy means you understand the capabilities and limitations of computers and you know how to use them safely and efficiently.

The vast amount of both structured and unstructured data generated daily and available to businesses is known as

big data. Big data describes the vast amounts of both structured and unstructured data that is generated daily. Many AI systems can benefit from analyzing these huge data sets.

The move toward access instead of ownership is known as

collaborative consumption. Collaborative consumption implies that we're joining together as a group to use a specific product more efficiently. We're so constantly connected with each other that we have again found the power of community. There are increasing opportunities to redistribute the things we've purchased and to share the services a product provides instead of owning it outright.

Using computers and computer networks in a subversive way to promote an agenda is known as

hacktivism. Hacktivism (derived from hack and activism) involves using computers and computer networks in a subversive way to promote an agenda usually related to causes such as free speech, human rights, or freedom of information. Essentially, it is using computer hacking to effect some sort of social change.
