Talk:Agent environment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Consider merging Intelligent agents into this page. It focuses on software "bots," for the most part, so the layout of this article will need reworked to properly incorporate it. --Schultz.Ryan 03:28, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

definitely merge this article into intelligent agents and move to intelligent agent -- the term "artificial intelligence agent" was made up by User:Melody on 10 august 2003, while trying to come to terms with this text from agent: "Agents generally --and including some software agents-- have the ability to learn and to reason, logically or otherwise. They may discover facts and rules about the world or about others and may assess and argue these truths and may alter their ontology". The term is used nowhere in academia, but has spread thru the GFDL corpus (wikipedia mirrors) -- 70.29.131.204 03:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

re bots: they're all bots; but in fact, the text could be properly divided into sections for learning agents and non-learning ones. Also, as we approach the technological singularity we learn how to learn -- ie: meta-learning, (which in humans is temporal lobe based ithink) and is a hallmark of sentience. -- 70.29.131.204 04:20, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone have any links to people who are doing research in this field?? If so they should be posted also.

[edit] Page move

I suggest that this article be edited in any of the following ways:

• renamed to agent environment since this is what the greater part of this article is abount
• merged with software agent since it applies to them in general
• deleted since as mentioned above this naming is wrong and the topic is covered elsewhere

[edit] I would keep it

I suggest keeping this article separate from intelligent agent. Typically, in agents research, these things are thought separatelly. The features of artificial environemtns mentioned here are equally as important as features as agents, in fact, their are accepted generally as a de facto definitions of properties of artificial environemnts. --User:Cyril2 14:33, 08 May 2005 (UTC)
