Consider merging Intelligent agents into this page. It focuses on software "bots," for the most part, so the layout of this article will need reworked to properly incorporate it. -- Schultz.Ryan 03:28, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone have any links to people who are doing research in this field?? If so they should be posted also.
I suggest that this article be edited in any of the following ways:
See intelligent agent -- moxon 09:33, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
I suggest keeping this article separate from intelligent agent. Typically, in agents research, these things are thought separatelly. The features of artificial environemtns mentioned here are equally as important as features as agents, in fact, their are accepted generally as a de facto definitions of properties of artificial environemnts. -- User:Cyril2 14:33, 08 May 2005 (UTC)
re merge: Due to the extensive rework required for the suggested merger of the mentioned atricles, I took the libirty to create this article from scratch. As stated in their discussions artificial intelligence agent focuses on "agent environments" and intelligent agents on bot-type software agents. I suggest that these articles be renamed/merged as such. I do however invite the authors of those articles to contribute to this new article where appropriate. Please comment. -- moxon 10:36, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
In my experience there are three communities who claim the word "agent":
I'm not sure this article is going to go anywhere if it doesn't clearly engage with at least one of those communities. Though there are some other people who use agent as you do, notably Russel & Norvig. That is, sort of as a generic expression for a strong AI system with no particular attachment to a research community.-- 81.6.234.170 21:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
If it is interactive and adaptive, IMO it is an IA -- moxon 12:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
The references on this page need a serious review! The first reference (Kasavbov) does not contain any of the information stated on the page. The relevant information might be somewhere else in the journal but it is not in the Introduction (which is referenced). Further there are hyperlinks to references 3 and 4 that take you nowhere since references 3 and 4 don´t exist. -- Shadowselfs 07:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
There should be (at least) two separed articles:"Intelligent agent" and "Intelligent agent(computer science)" Current article is confusing and if no-one objects I will create the second article and move half of the text there. 82.130.8.142 ( talk) 19:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I am hoping to merge rational agent, intelligent agent and agent environment into a single article, since they all seem to be based on chapter 2 of Russell, Stuart J.; Norvig, Peter (2003), Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (2nd ed.), Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-790395-2.
This would create a nice medium-sized article on a single topic from a major source. (So we can be sure how the topic is defined, that it is notable, and that the material is both relevant and verified). Other related ideas (such as software agents with artificial intelligence, or agent (economics) can be covered in other articles, and the intro of intelligent agent will guide you there.
It seems this merge has a long history. Hopefully this will sort it out. ---- CharlesGillingham ( talk) 17:04, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
As for Rational agent, see my notes at Talk:Rational agent ---- CharlesGillingham ( talk) 17:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

The research on Intelligent Agents is not a subpart of robotics, althought some work of robotic is inspired by the work on Intelligent Agents. Actually, research on Intelligent Agents can be rather be considered as a sub-part of the research conducted on Software agents.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Intelligent agent. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

This was unsourced, WP:UNDUE weight, and not on topic. This is about Friendly AI or Machine ethics, not intelligent agents. ---- CharlesGillingham ( talk) 00:51, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
This is off topic. This about Artificial intelligence § Risks. ---- CharlesGillingham ( talk) 00:55, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

This section, which talks about defining artificial intelligence as the study of intelligent agents, mostly contains definitions of intelligent agents, plus a reference to one paper that defines AI this way.
I don't think this is a common definition for AI. A lot of systems of interest, e.g. computer vision systems or language models, are generally not considered agents. Additionally, the Advantages section is not really sourced, and I'm not sure it's a generally held view. MattF ( talk) 20:05, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
I find it really odd to see a whole page about intelligent agents and not one reference of the field behind its development, Computer Science. 2001:8A0:786B:F300:C94B:61EF:B3C6:C5EF ( talk) 18:50, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
