A program is made to solve a certain problem according to a specific situation. It is the programmer’s role to anticipate all possible difficulties that the program may encounter, still, any unexpected errors could cause the whole system to crash.

This is where we introduce agents: computer systems that can appropriately choose the right solution in order to reach their objectives.

Intelligent agents, more than that, are able to deal with unpredictable situations as well as failure.
