Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The existence of an algorithm means that the task can potentially be automated
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Automation software acts as another example of algorithms, as automation follows a set of rules to complete tasks. Many algorithms make up automation software, and they all work to automate a given process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Automated decision-making (ADM) involves the use of data, machines and algorithms to make decisions in a range of contexts, including public administration, business, health, education, law, employment, transport, media and entertainment, with varying degrees of human oversight or intervention.

Detailed explanation-3: -Regardless of the context in which they are used, algorithms are essentially problem solvers-their purpose is to solve and often automate a solution to a particular problem. Introductory textbooks on algorithms tend to outline their subject broadly, defining an algorithm as ‘a set of steps to accomplish a task’ 3.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most algorithms are intended to be implemented as computer programs. However, algorithms are also implemented by other means, such as in a biological neural network (for example, the human brain implementing arithmetic or an insect looking for food), in an electrical circuit, or in a mechanical device.
