Question

multiple choice question
which choice correctly describes an autonomous device?
o it is choosing without conscious thought or logical inference.
o it is a means of analyzing the underlying causes.
o it is a machine that uses programming goals to arrive at decisions.
o it is a graph of decisions and consequences used to create a plan or reach a goal.

Explanation:

An autonomous device is a machine that can make decisions based on pre - set programming goals. It operates without continuous human intervention, using its programming to determine actions. The first option is more related to intuitive or subconscious decision - making in a non - machine context. The second option is about root - cause analysis, not the nature of an autonomous device. The fourth option describes a decision - tree or similar planning tool, not an autonomous device.

Answer:

It is a machine that uses programming goals to arrive at decisions.
