This chapter describes an architecture for generalized metacognition—called the metacognitive loop (MCL)—aimed at making artificial intelligence (AI) systems more robust. The key to this enhancement is to characterize a system by its expectations each time it engages in activity, to watch for violations of system expectations, and to attempt to reason in an application-general way about the violation to arrive at a diagnosis and plan for recovery.
Keywords: metacognition, artificial intelligence, cognitive systems, metacognitive loop
