← Language & CommunicationA team is developing a chatbot. If the chatbot incorrectly interprets 'book' as in 'make a reservation' when the user meant 'item to read,' which consequence follows?
A)Increased parsing computation time significantly
B)A semantic ambiguity resolution failure✓
C)Syntactic structure analysis becomes impossible
D)Phonetic transcription errors become frequent
💡 Explanation
A semantic ambiguity resolution failure occurs because the chatbot selects the wrong meaning of a word with multiple senses. This results in misinterpreting the user's intent; therefore, the failure is semantic ambiguity rather than syntactic parsing or phonetic errors.
