Q1. Read the following passage carefully and explain the contextual meaning of theunderlined words/phrases with reference to this text. Also write the main idea of the passagein your own words and give it a title. (10)People manage their emotions in different ways, depending on their personality and the culture theylive in. In western culture, for instance, crying is usually seen as a sign of weakness, especially for men.Research has shown, however, that crying it out makes people feel better. So perhaps we shouldencourage our children to wear their hearts on their sleeves more often. It has become a widelyaccepted idea that, instead of bottling up the emotions, one should ventilate one's emotions once in awhile. One should blow off steam in order to avoid sudden explosions. However, one emotion mayprove to be an exception: anger. In fact, ventilating anger is one of the worst ways to cool down:outbursts of rage typically pump up the arousal, leaving people feeling angrier, not less. When peopleblow up at the person who has provoked their anger, their rage not only peaks during the outbursts, butthe angry mood is also prolonged. After reaching their boiling point, these people keep fuming muchlonger. A far more effective way of managing anger is to simmer down first, and then, in a moreconstructive manner, confront the person to settle a dispute. Imagine that someone pushes you aside ina crowd. Your first thought may be –How rude! That reflex may then be followed by more negativethoughts: –He could have hurt me! I can't let him get away with that. Then, if someone else behind youbump into you because you have slowed down, you are apt to erupt in rage at that person too. Nowimagine a more positive line of thought toward the man who pushed you aside: –Maybe he had a goodreason, such as an emergency, you may be cool down by thinking like this, and could dismiss the angerwith a laugh.

Question 7: Turing Machines (a) Draw the state diagram of a Turing Machine, that converts every 'a' to 'b', and every 'b' to 'a', except for the last alphabet. Also, it goes to the accept state if the last alphabet is 'a', and goes to the reject state if the last alphabet is 'b'. Hint: Convert everything until you reach the end (blank symbol), then take one step backward and convert the last alphabet again. As you converted the last alphabet twice, it ensures that the last alphabet was not changed. Then stop and depending on what the last alphabet is, now finally, go to the accept or reject state.

1. Read the paragraph below and find where are the time order signals: There can be very few things more important than education. Education is the key to knowledge; it leads us down the path of ultimate enlightenment. Through education, we learn how to read and write. A person who lacks education misses out on a plethora of opportunities. In contrast, a well- educated person will find himself in the middle of a field of possibilities. He will live a life filled with worldly comforts. A person needs to receive an education from his childhood. The brain of a child is in constant development, and it helps in a better understanding of concepts over time. Moreover, a literate person knows his way out of difficult situations; he knows how to turn a bad situation around. One of the paramount aspects of education is that an educated person receives a lot of love and respect from the people around him. People admire and look up to him. Education shapes and forms the base of our character and…
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…

Article: The ethics of non-human agents: A growing number of digital agents are non-human and in some cases are increasingly capable of autonomy (robots, drones, self-driving cars, etc.). Algorithms are responsible for decisions in a wide range of areas these days (for example in stock marketing trading), and any algorithm that makes decisions is not ethically neutral. Some algorithms are adaptive, able to learn and adjust their behavior over time. We have to understand how such actors affect us and our societies. Autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars will react to changing conditions and deal with circumstances that they have never encountered before, without human intervention. Does it make sense to think of these technological systems as ethical agents in their own right? Is there a fundamental ethical priciple based on 'global' human values? What is the ethical status of machines that are increasingly autonomous and might even, at some point, be described as…
