Towards Rational Agency
نویسنده
چکیده
Until recently perfect rationality was the most desired property of intelligent systems, i.e. rational agents, stipulating that they always act so as to maximize their expected utility given their beliefs. Nowadays a shift can be seen both in economy (from perfect to bounded rationality), in game theory (from action to program selection) and in philosophy (from act to rule utilitarianism) because of the fundamentally unsatisfiable requirements imposed by the definition [1]. This led in artificial intelligence to the definition of bounded-optimality [2], which had an impact on the other fields. Hence rationality is rediscovered as a central property of intelligent systems, as foreseen in [1].

Towards a Logic of Rational Agency
Rational agents are important objects of study in several research communities, including economics, philosophy, cognitive science, and most recently computer science and artificial intelligence. Crudely, a rational agent is an entity that is capable of acting on its environment, and which chooses to act in such a way as to further its own best interests. There has recently been much interest i...
متن کاملThe Cost of Rational Agency
The rational agency assumption limits systems to domains of application that have never been observed. Moreover, representing agents as being rational in the sense of maximising utility subject to some well specified constraints renders software systems virtiually unscalable. These properties of the rational agency assumption are shown to be unnecessary in representations or analogies of market...

Bubbles in asset prices have fascinated researchers in finance. Identify asset bubbles, by circumstances, on the stock market has been a growing number of research theoretical and empirical. On a theoretical level, it was assumed that the price dynamics reflect irrational behavior of economic agents and, therefore, should be excluded from a deal with the truly rational economic agents Burmeiste...

This paper combines ideas from recent philosophical work on rational agency and work in artificial intelligence on hierarchical non-linear planners which combine plan generation, execution, and monitoring, to produce a planning theory of rational agency for resource-bounded agents.
