Action Model
An internal model used by AI agents to predict the potential outcomes of their actions in specific states.
Detailed Definition
An action model is a key component of an AI agent's decision-making process that helps the agent understand the potential consequences of different actions. By simulating and predicting outcomes, the agent can evaluate the merits of potential action paths and choose actions that best achieve its goals. In complex or uncertain environments, an accurate action model is crucial for effective agent operation. Modern AI agents often combine action models with planning algorithms to look ahead and make informed decisions about sequences of actions that will lead to desired outcomes.
