Beliefs, Desires, Intentions (BDI)

The Beliefs, Desires, Intentions (BDI) model is a way to understand and simulate human decision-making in artificial agents. It suggests that an agent's behavior is driven by what it believes about the world (beliefs), what it wants to achieve (desires), and how it plans to accomplish those goals (intentions). Beliefs influence the agent’s understanding of its environment, desires set its priorities, and intentions guide its actions toward fulfilling those desires. This framework helps create more realistic, flexible, and goal-oriented artificial systems by modeling how humans think and decide.
