ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 90
The capability of Shogi (Japanese chess game) software is improved until it beats a professional player. Which of the following is the most appropriate technology that acts as the core for improvement of the capability of the Shogi software?
Explanation
AI — artificial intelligence is the technology that lets Shogi software play better than a professional.
Game software becomes stronger through AI: it searches possible moves, evaluates positions, and with machine learning learns from records of past games and from playing against itself, so its evaluation improves without a person writing every rule. Shogi and go programs that beat top professionals are among the best-known results of AI.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- •(a) VR — virtual reality lets a user experience a computer-generated space as if it were real; it presents a world, it does not decide moves
- •(b) ER — in IT, the entity-relationship model used to design databases; it describes data, not reasoning
- •(c) EC — electronic commerce, buying and selling over networks
Key rule: When software learns and makes judgements that used to need a human expert, the technology behind it is AI; VR is about presentation, E-R about data design, EC about trade.
