THE LIDA ARCHITECTURE: ADDING NEW MODES OF LEARNING TO AN INTELLIGENT, AUTONOMOUS, SOFTWARE AGENT

Open publisher page 194 citations

Abstract

This is a report on the LIDA architecture, a work in progress that is based on IDA, an intelligent, autonomous, conscious software agent that does personnel work for the US Navy. IDA uses locally developed cutting edge artificial intelligence technology designed to model human cognition. IDA's task is to find jobs for sailors whose current assignments are about to end. She selects jobs to offer a sailor, taking into account the Navy's policies, the job’s needs, the sailor's preferences, and her own deliberation about feasible dates. Then she negotiates with the sailor, in English via iterative emails, about job selection. We use the word conscious in the sense of Baars' Global Workspace Theory (Baars, 1988, 1997), upon which our architecture is based.
