Intelligent Agents and Problem Solving Agents - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through effectors/actuators.

Weak and Strong Agent

An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through effectors/actuators.

Weak Agent

A weak notion says that an agent is a hardware or software based computer system that has the following properties:

1] Autonomy

Agents operate without direct intervention of humans and have control over their actions and internal state.

2] Social ability

Agents interact with other agents (and possibly humans) via an agent communication language.

3] Reactivity

Agents perceive their environment and respond in timely and rational fashion to changes that occur in it.

4] Pro-activeness

Agents do not simply act in response to their environment, they are capable of taking the initiative, generate their own goals and act to achieve them.

Strong Agent

A stronger nation says that an agent has mental properties, such as knowledge, belief, intention, obligation. In addition and agent has other properties such as: -

1. Mobility: Agents can move around from one machine to another and across different system architectures and platforms.

2. Veracity: Agents do not knowingly communicate false information.

3. Rationality: Agents will try to achieve their goals and not acts in such a way that would prevent their goals from being achieved.

Strong AI is associated with human traits such as consciousness, sentience, sapience, self-awareness

1. Conciousness -To have subjective experience and thought.

2. Selfawareness - To be aware of oneself as a separate individual, especially to be aware of one's own thoughts.

3. Sentience - The ability to feel perceptions and emotions subjectively.

4. Sapience -The capacity for wisdom.
