Artificial Intelligence
• “Computational intelligence is the study of the design of
intelligent agents.”
• “An agent is something that acts in an environment—it
does something. Agents include worms, dogs,
thermostats, airplanes, humans, organizations, and
society.”
• “An intelligent agent is a system that acts intelligently:
What it does is appropriate for its circumstances and its
goal, it is flexible to changing environments and
changing goals, it learns from experience, and it makes
appropriate choices given perceptual limitations and
finite computation.” (Poole et al., 1998)
