Sustainability focuses on these three core areas because they all have an impact on the environment
and society. Social sustainability is concerned with the relationships between people and how to
create a society that is equitable and fair for all members. Economic sustainability focuses on the
creation of a viable economic system that provides for the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Environmental
sustainability focuses on protecting natural resources, ecosystems and habitats, and minimizing the
impact of human activities on the environment.

Question #3 (Topic: demo questions)
Human-centric trustworthy Al must be
A.
quality assurance certified.
B.
continually assessed and monitored.
C.
financially sustainable.
D.
tested by humans.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Human-centric trustworthy Al must be continually assessed and monitored in order to ensure that it
is behaving in a safe and ethical manner. This includes conducting regular tests and audits to ensure
that the Al is functioning as intended, and is not taking any actions or decisions that could potentially
harm humans or their environment. Reference: BCS Foundation Certificate In Artificial Intelligence

Question #4 (Topic: demo questions)
From the Ell's ethics guidelines for Al, what does 'The Principle of Autonomy,' mean?
A.
Robots will have freewill
B.
Al agents will behave as humans.
C.
Al systems will be human-centric
D.
Al systems will preserve human agency.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The Principle of Autonomy from the ELL's ethics guidelines for Al states that Al systems should be
designed in a way that preserves human agency and responsibility. This means that Al systems should be designed in a way that allows humans to remain in control of their decisions, and that the
Al system should not be able to act without human input or permission. Reference: BCS Foundation

Question #5 (Topic: demo questions)
Reflex and Model-based Reflex are two types of what?
Reflex and Model-based Reflex are two types of Artificial Intelligent Agents. Artificial Intelligent
Agents are computer systems designed to act and think in a manner similar to humans, incorporating
elements of problem solving, decision-making, communication, and learning. Reflex agents are
reactive agents which act based on the current environment and conditions, while Model-based
Reflex agents use a model of the environment to make decisions. Reference: BCS Foundation
