Types of AI agents
- In this video, we'll explore the different types of agents and their specific superpowers. Understanding these distinctions will help you choose the right type of agent for a specific use case you're solving for. First up, simple reflex agents. They act based on current perceptions, ignoring past experiences. They're ideal for straightforward tasks in stable environments. Imagine a thermostat that adjusts the temperature based on current ratings. They usually rely on basic roles that might use sample sensors and actuators. They generally do not require any advanced AI technologies like NLP or machine learning. Next up, we have model-based reflex agents. They maintain an internal state to track aspects of their environment that are not directly observable, like a self-driving car that uses sensors and internal mapping to navigate. This may incorporate basic machine learning for updating their model and could use computer vision, for example, or other sensor processing technologies…
