Intelligent Agent Prolegomenon
An intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of successfully achieving its goals. Agents are used to build a wide variety of applications, including web search engines, recommender systems, smart home devices, and autonomous vehicles. The agent paradigm is also used to study human decision-making and to build artificial intelligence systems that interact with humans. This post provides a comprehensive discussion of the concept of an intelligent agent in Lecture 3 of the SC4003 course in NTU.
