• Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the field that studies the synthesis and analysis of computational agents that act intelligently.
• An agent is something that acts in an environment - it does something.
• Agents include worms, dogs, thermostats, airplanes, robots, humans, companies, and countries.
• AI is about practical reasoning:
• Rreasoning in order to do something. A coupling of perception, reasoning, and acting comprises an agent.
• An agent acts in an environment. An agent's environment may well include other agents.
An agent together with its environment is called a world.
