Agent

In Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, an agent is a software program or system that is capable of performing tasks autonomously, with or without human intervention. It is designed to perceive its environment through sensors and act upon it through actuators, in order to achieve a specific goal. Agents can be classified into different types based on their level of autonomy, such as reactive agents, deliberative agents, and hybrid agents. Reactive agents are the simplest type of agents that react to their environment based on a set of predefined rules. Deliberative agents, on the other hand, are capable of reasoning and planning before taking actions. Hybrid agents combine both reactive and deliberative approaches to achieve their goals. Agents are widely used in various applications such as robotics, gaming, and intelligent systems.
