Web-based artificial intelligence agents
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper discusses implementations of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies over the World Wide Web. The implementations include a pilot agent with natural language processing and rule-based AI that recommends IBM products, a planning agent that can be used by dispersed Army Small Units, and a learning apprentice for the Web that can help users to locate desired Web sites. The
potential for the use of the AI technology, in light of the latest development in Internet and Web 2.0 technologies, is high for both corporations and every day users.
