2.3 Evolution

Question 1

Evolution

Answer 1

Ability of the system to improve itself in response to changing external constraints

Question 2

Self-learning AI-based systems

Answer 2

Need to incorporate evolution (as described)

Question 3

AI-based systems often operate in

Answer 3

An evolving environment

Question 4

AI-based system needs to be

Answer 4

Flexible and adaptable enough to cope with changes in its operational environment

Question 5

Self-learning AI-based systems typically need to manage two forms of change

Answer 5

System learns from its own decisions and its interactions with its environment,

System learns from changes made to the system’s operational environment

Question 6

Ideal outcome of evolution for self-learning AI-based systems

Answer 6

Improve its effectiveness and efficiency

Question 7

Evolution must be constrained to prevent

Answer 7

System from developing any unwanted characteristics

Question 8

Any evolution must continue to meet

Answer 8

Original system requirements and constraints

Question 9

Where original system requirements and constraints are lacking

Answer 9

System must be managed to ensure that any evolution remains within limits and that it always stays aligned with human values
