Characteristics of AI
• Symbolic Processing
• Non-algorithmic Processing
• Reasoning
• Perception
• Communication
• Ability to Learn
• Imprecise knowledge
• Planning
• Fast decision making
• Symbolic Processing​
​
• In AI applications, computers process
symbols rather than numbers or
letters.
• AI Applications process strings
of characters that represent real-world
entities or concepts.
• Symbols can be arranged in structures
such as lists, hierarchies, or networks.
These structures show how symbols
relate to each other.
• Non-algorithmic Processing
• Computer programs outside the AI
domain are programmed
algorithms; that is, fully specified
step-by step procedures that define
a solution to the problem.
The actions of a knowledge-based
AI system depend to a far greater
degree on the situation where it is
used.
Reasoning is the ability to solve problems through
logical deduction
Perception is the ability to deduce things about
the world from visual images, sounds and other
sensory inputs. It involves deducing things about
the world from visual images, sounds and other
sensory inputs.
Communication is the ability to understand
written and spoken language. It involves the
ability to communicate in human language,
understanding people’s intentions
7. Imprecise knowledge
An AI program needs an imprecise or general knowledge whereas a
conventional program needs a precise or specific knowledge.
Planning is the ability to set and achieve
goals. It involves setting and achieving goals
through sequences of actions. Sequences of
actions can be undertaken that will affect
progress towards achieving the goals.
8. Planning
9. Fast decision making
• Al has a powerful role to play in
making real-world decisions.
• Even many of the most innovative
organizations in the world such as
Facebook, Google and Amazon rely
on depend on AI algorithms for
decision making .
Components of AI
Learning
One of the essential components of ai, learning for AI includes the trial-
and-error method.
The solution keeps on solving problems until it comes across the right
results.
This way, the program keeps a note of all the moves that gave positive
results and stores it in its database to use the next time the computer is
given the same problem.
Reasoning
• To reason is to allow the platform to
draw inferences that fit with the
provided situation.
• Further, these inferences are also
categorized as either inductive or
deductive.
• Inductive reasoning involves starting
from specific premises and forming a
general conclusion, while deductive
reasoning involves using general
premises to form a specific
conclusion
Problem solving
• The problem-solving
component in AI allows the
programs to include step-
by-step reduction of
difference, given between
any goal state and current
state.
Perception
• The processes are maintained
internally and allow the perceiver
to analyze other scenes in
suggested objects and
understand their relationship and
features.
Language-
understanding
• AI is developed in a manner that
it can easily understand
the commonly used human
language, English.
• This way, the platform allows the
computers to understand the
different computer programs
executed over them easily.
AI Approaches
1. Acting humanly- When a computer acts
perfectly like a human being, and it is difficult to
differentiate between two by using
technologies such as natural language
processing, automated reasoning, machine
learning and automated reasoning. T
he Turing test, called an imitation game,
determines whether a machine can
demonstrate human intelligence or not without
any physical contact.
• 2. Thinking humanly – When a
computer thinks just as a human
and performs tasks usually
performed with human intelligence
such as driving a car.
• The method to determine how
humans think, cognitive modeling
approach is used based on three
techniques- Introspection,
Psychological testing, and Brain
imaging.
• 3. Thinking Rationally -A person is
considered rational (reasonable,
sensible, and with a good sense of
judgment) and the computer
thinks rationally as per the
recorded behavior and solves
problems logically. In other words,
• the solving of a specific problem is
quite different from solving it in
practice and computers take help
of that rational thought to
perform.
• 4. Acting Rationally- The study of
how humans act in uncertainty or
complexity relies completely on
rational agents.
• Actions depend on conditions,
environmental factors, and existing
data to maximize the expected
value of its performance.
• It normally relies on black-box or
engineering approach to
successfully accomplish the goal.

Intelligent Agents
• AI agents are software
programs or systems that
are designed to perceive
their environment, make
decisions, and take actions
autonomously to achieve
specific goals.
These AI systems can be
used in various applications
such as chatbots, robotics,
personal assistants, and
more.
Agents
• An agent can be anything that perceive its environment through
sensors and act upon that environment through actuators.
• An Agent runs in the cycle of perceiving, thinking, and acting
AGENT=HARDWARE + SOFTWARE
• Agent is designed to interact with some environment, and it has
some predefined goals for environment
• Agent perceives the environment, decide action to be taken and
takes the action until the goal state is reached/achieved
• Example: Self driving car
• Agent: Self driving car
• Environment: roads, signals and traffic
• Actuators: gears, horn, indicators, clutch, breaks, accelerator etc.
• Goal: reaching destination safely and comfortably with minimum
time

Agents
An agent can be:
• Human-Agent:
Sensors : Eyes, Ears & Other Organs.
Actuators : Hand, Legs, Vocal tract.
• Robotic Agent:
Sensors : Cameras, Infrared range finder, NLP
Actuators : Various motors
• Software Agent:
Sensors : Keystrokes, File contents, network
packets
Actuators : Screen, writing files, and sending
network packets
An intelligent agent is an autonomous entity which act upon an
environment using sensors and actuators for achieving goals.
Agent
Sensor: It detects the change in the environment and sends the information to
other electronic devices. An agent observes its environment through sensors.
Actuators: These are component of machines that converts energy into
motion. The actuators are only responsible for moving and controlling a system.
Effectors: These are devices which affect the environment. Effectors can be
legs, wheels, arms, fingers, wings, fins, and display screen.
Intelligent Agents:
Following are the main four rules for an AI agent:
Rule 1: An AI agent must have the ability to
perceive the environment
Rule 2: The observation must be used to make
decisions
Rule 3: Decision should result in an action
Rule 4: The action taken by an AI agent must be a
rational action
Rational Agent
A rational agent is an agent which has clear preference,
models uncertainty, and acts in a way to maximize its
performance measure with all possible actions.
A rational agent is said to perform the right things. AI is
about creating rational agents to use for game theory and
decision theory for various real-world scenarios.
For an AI agent, the rational action is most important because
in AI reinforcement learning algorithm, for each best possible
action, agent gets the positive reward and for each wrong
action, an agent gets a negative reward.
Rationality:
The rationality of an agent is measured by its
performance measure.
Rationality can be judged on the basis of
following points:
• Performance measure which defines the success
criterion.
• Agent prior knowledge of its environment.
• Best possible actions that an agent can perform.
• The sequence of percepts.
Structure of an AI Agent
• The task of AI is to design an agent program which implements the agent
function.
• The structure of an intelligent agent is a combination of architecture and
agent program.
• It can be viewed as:
Agent = Architecture + Agent program
(H/W) (S/W)
Main three terms involved in the structure of an AI agent:
• Architecture: Architecture is machinery that an AI agent executes on.
• Agent Function: Agent function is used to map a percept to an action.
f : P* A
→
The agent function for an agent specifies the action taken by the agent
in response to any percept sequence
• Agent program: Agent program is an implementation of agent function.
An agent program executes on the physical architecture to produce
function f.
Structure of an AI Agent
• Main three terms involved in the structure of an AI agent:
• Architecture: Architecture is machinery that an AI agent executes on.
• Percept Sequence: Complete history of environment that agent has
perceived
• Agent Function: Mapping of percept sequence to an action (Agent
function is used to map a percept to an action)
f : P* A
→
• Agent program: Agent program is an implementation of agent
function. An agent program executes (embedded) on the physical
architecture to produce function f. Agent programs take the current
percept as input from the sensors and return an action to the
actuators
The agent function is an abstract mathematical description; the agent
program is a concrete implementation, running within some physical
system.
• The performance measure evaluates the
behavior of the agent in an environment.
A rational agent acts so as to maximize
the expected value of the performance
measure, given the percept sequence it
has seen so far.
