Introduction

Logic. Rationality. Reasoning. Thought. Analysis. Calculation. Decision-making.

All this is within the mind of a human being, correct? Humanity has been blessed with the ability to think and act so intelligently.

Then came Machine. Humanity has also blessed it the gift of intelligence.

And in today’s world, you can see firsthand what an intelligent mind can do for you; carry a conversation, give you directions to a certain location, play a video game as an opponent, and so on.

In essence, only our imaginations will limit us from what’s truly possible

An Artificial Intelligence Agent

In terms of Artificial Intelligence, an agent can be anything that, given an environment to focus on, can think intelligently and act independently. It can continue observing and learning through experience. It can calculate and independently decide the best course of action, whether it has perfect knowledge of the situation or just a part of it. It can also take note and adapt to a changing environment.

So you might wonder, how has mankind ever developed something so complex?

Well, it’s not as complex as you think.

If you understand the process of how a computer can observe, learn, and expand its knowledge - and how it can take all this information and come up with an ideal solution or decision - then an artificially created mind won’t be as complex as you think.

Sometimes, it can take as little as a few lines of code to have a computer come up with solutions for you. Sometimes it can take hundreds. Sometimes, thousands.
