BDI Model (Belief-Desire-Intention)

The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model is a framework used to understand how agents, like humans or artificial systems, make decisions and take actions. In this model, "beliefs" represent what the agent knows about the world, "desires" reflect its goals or what it wants to achieve, and "intentions" are the specific plans or actions it commits to in order to fulfill those desires based on its beliefs. Essentially, the BDI model helps illustrate the relationship between an agent's knowledge, motivations, and decision-making processes, enabling more realistic behaviors in both humans and machines.
