Explanation of Solution
Contrast of computational capabilities of different organisms:
“Yes”, there are differences in the computational capabilities of different organisms.
Reason:
There exist varieties of organisms present on the Earth in which each possesses different levels of intelligence. Organisms such as insects, plants, animals have different capabilities.
Insects are considered less intelligent than animals and birds. Birds have different levels of intelligence among the other birds. In insects, ants, bees and termites are more intelligent than other insects.
Birds plan migration routes, type of food, competitors, their prey. They know their nests and several other characteristics which show difference in the capabilities. Birds such as parrots, crows are considered as higher level of intelligence than other birds.
Every organism contains different levels of capabilities. It is also possible that no two birds or two animals have the same level of intelligence.
Contrast of computational capabilities of different humans:
“Yes”, there are differences in the computational capabilities of different humans...

- In the not-too-distant future, which sorts of mathematical computations do specialists believe will be performed exclusively by artificial intelligence, which will be controlled by humans? What about unleashing the full potential of artificial intelligence in all its forms?arrow_forwardIs it true that Data Structures and Algorithms are no longer used in the age of Machine Learning? What, exactly, is the link between the two?arrow_forwardIs it true that in the present age of Machine Learning, Data Structures and Algorithms are no longer used? What is the link between the two, exactly?arrow_forward
- There is some uncertainty as to whether or not the rise of sentient robots with the ability to make their own choices poses a genuine danger, given the current rate of technological assimilation among humans. For what reason not, then?arrow_forwardIs it true that in the present age of Machine Learning, Data Structures and Algorithms are no longer required? and what, precisely, is the connection between the two?arrow_forwardIn the present era of Machine Learning, is it accurate to say that Data Structures and Algorithms are no longer in use? Also, what precisely is the nature of the interaction between the two?arrow_forward
- As a computing agent, in what ways is a Turing machine different from a human being? Are any features Turing machines lack important for understanding what humans can express or compute algorithmically? 2. Think about a variation on a Turing machine that does not have an infinite tape. Instead, its tape is N cells long. Can you think of problems such a machine could not solve, that could be described algorithmically? 3. Compare the software development process with processes suggested for writing papers. Are there parallels; are there significant differencesarrow_forwardIs it true that in the age of Machine Learning, Data Structures and Algorithms are no longer required? What is the precise connection between the two?arrow_forwardDiscuss each variation of Turing Machines and provide each with a correct diagram with input string.arrow_forward
