What is Artificial Intelligence?

An AI agent works as a loop: observe the environment, decide based on a policy, take action, and learn from feedback.

This starter module focuses on a simple but practical workflow so learners can build intuition before advanced topics.

How an AI Agent Works

1

Observe

The agent collects signals from its environment and converts them into a usable state representation.

2

Decide

A policy maps the current state to the best available action according to the objective.

3

Improve

Feedback helps update behavior so the next decision is more reliable and goal-aligned.

Real World Example

A practical AI loop in everyday life.

Smart Thermostat Agent

A thermostat continuously senses temperature, chooses heating actions, and improves comfort over time.

1

Observation

The system reads room temperature, humidity, and occupancy.

2

Decision

It decides whether to heat now, wait, or lower energy consumption.

3

Feedback

It evaluates comfort and energy usage to refine future behavior.
