The hospital wants to upgrade the robotic assistant with AI capabilities.
Answer the following:
(a) Explain how machine learning can help the robot improve its performance over time.
(b) Explain two cybersecurity risks that may affect the robotic assistant and measure to prevent them.
(c) The robotic assistant must identify the correct medicine for each patient. Explain how AI helps the robot perform this task accurately.

(a) Machine learning can help the robot improve its performance over time in the following ways:
- It learns important features and patterns from historical hospital data.
- Its predictions and decisions become more accurate as it is trained on relevant data.
- With further training on new data, it can adapt to new situations and improve its performance.
(b) Two cybersecurity risks and preventive measures are:
- Unauthorised access — An unauthorised person may gain access to the robot's settings or patient data. This can be prevented by using strong authentication and secure passwords.
- Malware attack — Malware may corrupt the robot's software or steal patient data. This can be prevented by installing regular software updates and using trusted antivirus or antimalware software.
(c) AI helps the robotic assistant identify the correct medicine in the following way:
- It analyses the patient's information and prescription details.
- It compares the medicine label or barcode with the prescription data using a trained model.
- It identifies and dispenses the correct medicine, reducing the chances of medication errors.
