π€ AI Agent Classification: Architectures, Autonomy, Environments, Roles
Manage episode 496506645 series 3485568
Comprehensive overview of AI agents, defining them as computational entities that perceive their environment and act to achieve goals, exhibiting characteristics like autonomy, rationality, and goal-orientation. They establish a classical taxonomy categorizing agents by their internal architecture, from simple reflex agents to learning agents, highlighting the perception-action cycle and key architectural components. Furthermore, the sources introduce the modern paradigm of Agentic AI and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), distinguishing a single AI agent as a building block from Agentic AI as a collaborative system of multiple agents. Classifications also extend to implementation and operational environments, differentiating between software and physical agents, API-based versus GUI-based agents, and their operational domains, alongside functional roles like information and transactional agents, and their autonomy levels which impact liability.
