From Doug Types of AI Agents Simple reflex agents follow predefined rules; for example, a thermostat – an AI agent files received items according to pre-determined document identifiers. Model-based reflex agents use their internal model to reason and make decisions accordingly; e.g., a mobile robot remembers previously encountered obstacles while navigating a room; an AI agent files documents based on previous experience. Goal-based agents incorporate a proactive, goal-oriented approach to problem-solving; e.g., autonomous vehicles determine a path to a destination, but adjust according to current real-time conditions. An AI agent recommends which market to place business insurance coverage – but based only on coverage and price. A utility-based reflex agent goes beyond simple goal achievement by using a utility function to evaluate and select actions that maximize overall benefit; e.g., a self-driving car chooses between speed, fuel efficiency and safety when navigating a route. An AI agent recommends which insurance market to place business insurance based on broader parameters (customer satisfaction, service levels, claims experience). A learning agent improves over time by adapting to new experiences and data, updating its behavior based on feedback. Insurance businesses today are implementing AI agents of various types according to their comfort levels and compliance guidelines. Doug Grant, CIP Partner Insurance-Canada.ca
