UPSC Weekly Current Affairs Quiz (September 20 – September 26): 10 key questions with detailed answers for Prelims 2027
Statement 1 is correct: Unlike traditional software, AI agents possess the capability to perform a series of actions toward a goal with minimal human intervention. They can access email, browse the web, write code, or interact with other software autonomously.
Statement 2 is also correct: AI agents have the ability to perceive information from their environment, reason about the available data, and make dynamic decisions on the next steps required to achieve a specified goal. This intelligent decision-making process enables them to adapt and optimize their actions based on the changing circumstances.
Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1. While both statements describe distinct aspects of AI agents, the ability to perform actions autonomously (Statement 1) and the perception and reasoning capabilities (Statement 2) are not directly linked by the second statement. Rather, they are complementary features that together make AI agents powerful and versatile tools.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (d): Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is incorrect.
