The term sustainability is broadly used to indicate programs, initiatives and actions aimed at the preservation of a particular resource. However, it actually refers to four distinct areas:human, social, economic and environmental – known as the four pillars of sustainability.
Sustainability focuses on these three core areas because they all have an impact on the environment and society. Social sustainability is concerned with the relationships between people and how to create a society that is equitable and fair for all members. Economic sustainability focuses on the creation of a viable economic system that provides for the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Environmental sustainability focuses on protecting natural resources, ecosystems and habitats, and minimizing the impact of human activities on the environment.

An intelligent robot uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to perceive its environment, plan its actions and then act on them. This is sometimes referred to as the “sense, plan, act” cycle, and is at the heart of what makes a robot intelligent. By using AI, robots can sense their environment, plan their actions accordingly and then act on them in order to complete their tasks.

In the 1800's the development of statistics led to___________theorem and is used in probabilistic inference. (Select the missing word.)
The development of statistics in the 1800s led to the development of the Bayes' theorem, named after Reverend Thomas Bayes. This theorem is used in probabilistic inference, which is the process of using data to calculate the likelihood of a hypothesis or outcome. The theorem is used for determining the probability of an event occurring given its prior probability, as well as its associated conditions. The Bayes' theorem is also used in a variety of fields, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, economics, and medical research. Sources:
