The field of AI is the study of

  1. Building intelligent entities that act effectively
  2. Replacing all human work with software
  3. Cataloguing all human knowledge in a database
  4. Building computers that look like humans
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Building intelligent entities that act effectively

AIMA Ch 1 opens by defining AI as the study and construction of intelligent entities — machines that can compute how to act effectively, and safely, in novel situations. The other options misstate the field's scope.
