Reactive Machine
A basic type of AI system that responds only to current input without persistently using past experience.
Reactive machines are among the most basic functional types of AI systems. They do not maintain a persistent model of the past; instead, they respond only to the current situation. They can be effective in narrow, well-defined, and immediate decision settings. However, they are not expected to carry context over time, learn deeply from experience, or develop strategic memory. For that reason, the reactive machine concept is a useful starting point for understanding the evolution of AI systems.
