Section A
1. Explain the difference between thinking humanly and acting rationally [4 Marks]
Thinking humanly:: describes how thinking manifests in human beings, i.e. through decision making,
problem solving, learning, etc [cognitive model]
Acting rationally:: describes correctness of actions as a result of computed like scenarios of perceiving,
reason , then acting [rational agent]
Philosophy studies the working of the mind and especially the concept of logic as behind intelligent
behavior. Overtime, this concept has lead to the abstraction of the workings of the mind (logic) in
mathematical/computational representations. These lead to design of devices/machines that can then
by following the mathematical representations (capturing knowledge) exhibit intelligent behavior in
modern day practice of AI.
3. Describe four examples of Artificial Intelligence manifestations in our daily lives today. [2 Marks]

AI as thought processes describes efforts to make computers think (be machines with minds). It’s about
automating decision making, problem solving, learning, etc
5. search state
a. Define what search state represents. [2 Marks]
A search state is a formal representation of solving a problem by defining the process as a combination
of known techniques (guided by rules that define a single step) and the conversion/transition from one
step to another until a desired situation (goal) is arrived at.
Required:
- Develop a search state space representation with at least 5 entries starting from the initial
state and show the possible configurations with current and next states [10 Marks]
Let GT, FMR,GR, LPD represent Goat, Farmer, Leopard respectively . Let representation of items on the banks
of the river be represented as vectors. E.g. GT, FMR, LPD, GR | 0,0,0,0 All items on the left bank.0, FMR,
LPD, GR | GT,0,0, GR Goat and grass on the second bank [3 marks]

6. Using a relevant example describe the following properties of an intelligent agent: Performance
measure, Environment, Actuators and Sensors [8 Marks]
7. What is the importance of studying Artificial Intelligence in relation to the Kenya Vision 2030? [2
Marks]
With vision 2030, our country Kenya aspires to be industrialized. That will call for engaging automated
labor in the form of intelligent machines like robots etc
