Learning robots as an example of agent causation[edit]

All artifacts are goal-oriented and are more or less an extension of equally goal-oriented actions of people. Nowadays, however, there are artifacts like "learning robots" that can make their own decisions based on information obtained from their environment. In this sense they also meet the definition of agent causation. I propose to add this to the definition of agent causation. Ypan1944 (talk) 11:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
