Reactive machines are AI systems that make decisions based solely on current data and programmed rules. They lack memory of past events or learning capabilities, operating in real-time with predefined responses. Reactive systems are adept at specific tasks, like playing chess or navigating controlled environments. However, their lack of memory limits adaptation to new situations or learning from experience. While efficient and reliable, reactive machines contrast with more advanced AI models that incorporate memory and learning, enabling broader problem-solving and dynamic response capabilities.
