environment.
C) A scenario where the agent operates based on a fixed set of rules without change.

Many everyday objects (such as amusement park rides, autos, elevators, and ovens) that you would not typically associate with a computer or information system are, in fact, computers or information systems in today's society. While there are some benefits, are there also hazards involved in this situation? For example, would you feel more or less comfortable if you were on a roller coaster that was computer-controlled? What are the dangers and benefits of growing the computerization of everyday activities? Do the benefits exceed the hazards? What are your arguments in favor of or against it?

The usage of computers and information systems is now prevalent in many common items such as amusement park rides, automobiles, elevators, and ovens, among other things, that you would not usually connect with computers or information systems. There are certain advantages, but are there any dangers as well? If, for example, you were riding a roller coaster that was computer controlled, would you feel more or less at ease? Alternatively, would you feel secure enough traveling in a Tesla with the auto-drive function turned on? What are the advantages and disadvantages of computerizing a growing number of daily objects? Do the potential benefits outweigh the risks? What is the reason for this or why is it not?

In at least one paragraph reply to the following:
"Artificial Intelligence (AI) is when a computer or robot is designed or programmed to perform tasks by itself as a human would because the actions that are being performed require human intelligence.
A computer can indeed be programmed to think for itself. In fact, think of an auto-pilot plane or a self-driving car. These vehicles must be programmed to think about stopping, turning, accelerating, etc. without anyone pushing a button telling it to do so. These types of vehicles are becoming more and more popular and every now and then, you might see someone on the highway sleeping in the drivers seat because their car (probably a Tesla) is doing the driving for them because it is programmed to think for itself, or drive by itself.
Another example in the industry where AI comes into play is gaming. In most games, there are actually computer players called "AI's" that act exactly as another player. Depending on the level of difficulty…
