Question

Explain what the Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA) Model  is and how it is applicable to intelligent agents.

Provide a graphical labeled model for an intelligent agent and explain each component of a proper intelligent agent model.

Answer 1

The OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) is a four-step approach to decision-making that focuses on filtering available information, putting it in context and quickly making the most appropriate decision while also understanding that changes can be made as more data becomes available. OODA is a platform for intelligent agent to implement their data. First adds a simple mission-control layer matched to the flight control system then adheres more strongly to the agent metaphor and implements a design based on observe -orient-decide-act (OODA) loop model of decision making

The observe-orient-decide-act (OODA) loop highlights the multitude of factors and interactions that shape decision makers' perception of unfamiliar or changing situations. The OODA loop has been an influential construct for understanding decision making.

Observe:

Fundamentally, the key output from the observe activity is the observation of data that creates a signal identifying a potential need for further analysis. While the clear separation between observing and orienting data might at first seem unique, many real world equivalents exist that demonstrate this separation. A case in intelligent agent may be an example of this, which would be the development of field reports that annotate the observation of hostile adversaries. The report developed by a field unit, following standard protocols and containing observational data about a potential sighting of an advisory data, is reflexively developed and to the concern team

Information security within the cyber domain is just one example of the emerging challenges that AI systems can create as they continue to influence the physical domain.

Orient

The second element of the OODA Loop is orient. orient is the processes and analyses that establish the relative significance and context of the signal or data observed. The OODA step “orient” correlates to the AI element understand. An observation in its original raw form is unprocessed data of potential interest. The orientation and prioritization of that observation, begins when the observation is placed the context of: (among other things) previous experiences, organizational, cultural, or historic frameworks; or other observations.

Decide

The third element of the OODA loop is “decide”. In this context, decide is the process used to develop, and then select a course of action, to achieve a desired end state. The OODA step “decide” roughly correlates the AI element “predict”. As a rational action, a decision is the selection of a course of action that is forecasted to improve a situation. Prior to selecting a course of action

Rules Based Decisions

1) selecting the shortest route to a destination: and,

2) a cashier dispensing correct change.

Act

The last element of the OODA Loop is act. The OODA step “act” closely correlates to the AI element manipulate. The “act” step converts the outcome of the OODA “decide” step and the complimentary “predict (and chose) AI element into an intentional event.” For AI systems this ability to manipulate the environment may take several forms. The first form may be indirect, where an AI system concludes its manipulation step by notifying an operator of its recommendations. The second form may be through direct man
