Fundamental Conundrums of Artificial Intelligence

-intelligent agents have limited resources
-computation is local, but problems have global constraints
-logic is deductive, but many problems are not
-The world is dynamic, but knowledge is limited
-Problem solving, reasoning, and learning are complex, but explanation and justification are even more complex

Characteristics of AI Agents
-Agent have limited computing power
-Agent have limited sensors
-Agent have limited attention
-Computational logic is fundamentally deductive
-AI agents’ knowledge is incomplete relative to the world
