Tentacular Artificial Intelligence, and the Architecture Thereof, Introduced
This work proposes a foundational architecture for AI systems, potentially impacting fields requiring distributed reasoning, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing multi-agent and logic-based approaches without demonstrated applications.
The paper introduces a new distributed, multi-agent AI system called 'tentacular AI' that tackles the problem of enabling reasoning and planning using highly expressive logics across networked agents, with the result being a conceptual framework defined by six attributes.
We briefly introduce herein a new form of distributed, multi-agent artificial intelligence, which we refer to as "tentacular." Tentacular AI is distinguished by six attributes, which among other things entail a capacity for reasoning and planning based in highly expressive calculi (logics), and which enlists subsidiary agents across distances circumscribed only by the reach of one or more given networks.
