Key Characteristics of AI Environments

  • Fully Observable vs. Partially Observable: If an agent's sensors give it access to the complete state of the environment needed to choose an action, the environment is fully observable. Otherwise, it is partially observable.
  • Deterministic vs. Stochastic: An environment is deterministic if the next state of the environment is completely determined by the current state (plus the results of your actions) and the agent's action. In a stochastic environment, there are multiple, unpredictable random outcomes. Luck is a serious component.
