Effectiveness
Effectiveness assures that the agent can perform the algorithm’s operations mechanically without intervention
- No additional inputs, special talent, clairvoyance, creativity or help from Superman
Effectiveness is achieved by reducing the task to the primitive operations known to the computer
Definiteness assures the agent knows what command to perform next; effectiveness assures the agent can accomplish the command
A non-effective command would be “Print the NASDAQ’s net change for the next trading day”
