Artificial Agent

Artificial agents are computational systems designed to act autonomously within an environment, pursuing goals and adapting to changing conditions. Current research emphasizes developing agents capable of learning complex world models, engaging in effective communication (including natural language and sign language), and exhibiting ethical and aligned behavior through techniques like reinforcement learning, active inference, and the integration of large language models with cognitive architectures. This field is crucial for advancing AI safety, improving human-computer interaction, and enabling the development of intelligent systems for diverse applications, from resource management to scientific discovery.
