Technical Definition

A subfield of AI focused on developing decentralized solutions to problems using multiple intelligent agents.

How it works

Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) research explores how multiple autonomous agents can cooperate or compete to solve complex problems. It delves into areas like coordination, communication, and negotiation among agents. DAI is closely related to the field of multi-agent systems and forms a foundation for decentralized AI approaches.

Related Concepts

  • Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) — Systems composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents that cooperate or compete to achieve individual or collective goals.
  • Intelligent Agents — Autonomous entities that perceive their environment and take actions to maximize their chances of achieving their goals.
