Why should an agent have some autonomy in the technical sense?

  • A.An autonomous agent needs no performance measure to guide it
  • B.A designer cannot anticipate every situation the agent will meet
  • C.Autonomous agents are cheaper to build than preprogrammed ones
  • D.Regulations require systems to operate without human supervision

Answer: B

Any fixed set of rules embodies assumptions that will eventually be violated, and an agent able to learn from its own experience can adapt where a preprogrammed one simply fails. Autonomy costs more rather than less to achieve, regulation generally pushes the other way, and a performance measure is more rather than less necessary for a learning agent. Building in the capacity to cope with what was not foreseen is what distinguishes a robust system from a merely complete one.
