Questions tagged [greedy-ai]

For questions related to greedy searches and greedy state-action strategies in that they prioritize or focus on the acquisition of more near term rewards than the mapping of plans to outcomes to achieve optimal or most likely desirable end states or stable continuity. In the extreme case, greedy AI system only evaluates the immediate next step. In the moderate case, the AI simply simulates a degree of doubt toward extended planning.
