Artificial intelligence — AS & A Level Computer Science (9618) questions by topic
Naming a category of machine learning, explaining how a car park camera system recognises number plates, and describing how a checkout-free shop identifies and tracks customers are typical demands in this Computer Science topic, worth 3 to 12 marks across 13 real questions from 2023 to 2025 papers.
Explain, describe, state, draw and calculate top the command words, and explain specifically means giving the AI technique and how it produces the stated outcome, not just naming the technology. Because scenarios here are technical and applied rather than abstract, drafting a full explanation and checking it against instant marking quickly shows whether the mechanism described actually matches what the mark scheme credits.
