  • Computer output = human sensation and perception
  • Human action = computer input
  • Its a feedback loop Each step also represents a form of intelligence that may be modelled artificially
  • Perception: Pattern recognition, computer vision, natural language processing
  • Knowledge: Expert systems
  • Actions and behaviors: Automated controllers
