A Prospectus on Agent Autonomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarizes the state of art in agent autonomy. It dispels myths and builds a foundation for study of autonomy. We point to a renewed interest in good old-fashioned AI that has emerged from consideration of agents and autonomy. This paper also serves as a reader’s guide to the paper in this book. We end with sobering thoughts about the future of the human relationship with machines.
