Importance of an Environment
- One of the crucial aspects of a human (and any animal) is that
it functions in an environment.
- The environment provides a host of constraints.
- It also, crucially, provides a vast amount of information.
- The agent has to learn to perform well in the environment.
- That's crucial to humanity, and it will be crucial to
developing an intelligent agent.
- If it can be in an environment, there is something to learn
from, and something to test on.
- The test actually helps with learning.
