A harbor office opens lock gates from a coded if-then timetable. A neighboring marina scores “likely delay” from years of tide and traffic logs and never wrote those rules. Which statement is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The harbor office is following a coded if-then timetable. That is conventional software. The marina scored “likely delay” from years of logs and never wrote those rules, so that one inferred its responses from data. Calling both conventional, both AI, or flipping the labels misses that split.
Full Explanation
A conventional system follows human-written imperative logic. An AI-based system can infer how to respond from data rather than from enumerated rules. The harbor timetable is conventional; the marina delay scorer is AI-based. Reversing the labels, or calling both conventional or both AI, misses that distinction.
