Tentacular Artificial Intelligence, and the Architecture Thereof, Introduced

TL;DR

This paper introduces 'tentacular' AI, a novel distributed multi-agent system characterized by reasoning, planning, and networked subsidiary agents, expanding the scope of AI architectures.

Contribution

It proposes a new architecture for distributed AI called tentacular AI, emphasizing reasoning, planning, and network reachability.

Findings

Defines six key attributes of tentacular AI

Highlights reasoning and planning capabilities in expressive logics

Illustrates the architecture's potential for wide network reach

Abstract

We briefly introduce herein a new form of distributed, multi-agent artificial intelligence, which we refer to as "tentacular." Tentacular AI is distinguished by six attributes, which among other things entail a capacity for reasoning and planning based in highly expressive calculi (logics), and which enlists subsidiary agents across distances circumscribed only by the reach of one or more given networks.
