[All AIGP Questions]

Machine learning is best described as a type of algorithm by which?

ASystems can mimic human intelligence with the goal of replacing humans.

BSystems can automatically improve from experience through predictive patterns.

CStatistical inferences are drawn from a sample with the goal of predicting human intelligence.

DPreviously unknown properties are discovered in data and used to predict and make improvements in the data.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) where systems use data to learn and improve over time without being explicitly programmed. Option B accurately describes machine learning by stating that systems can automatically improve from experience through predictive patterns. This aligns with the fundamental concept of ML where algorithms analyze data, recognize patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention. Reference: AIGP BODY OF KNOWLEDGE, which covers the basics of AI and machine learning concepts.

Haha, option A is like trying to replace the human brain with a machine. That's a bit ambitious, don't you think?

I think option D) Previously unknown properties are discovered in data and used to predict and make improvements in the data, also makes sense. It's about finding hidden insights in the data.
