What does a utility based agent add to a goal based one?

  • A.A measure of how desirable each outcome is, not merely whether it satisfies
  • B.The ability to pursue several goals simultaneously without conflict
  • C.A model of the environment that the goal based agent lacks
  • D.The capacity to learn which goals are worth pursuing at all

Answer: A

A goal is binary, achieved or not, whereas a utility function ranks outcomes, allowing the agent to trade speed against safety or cost against quality, and to act sensibly when goals conflict or are uncertain. Multiple goals and models are handled by both, and learning is an orthogonal addition. Replacing a predicate with a number is a small change that greatly enlarges the range of situations an agent can handle sensibly.
