Autonomous agents are being used in more complex and dynamic environments where efficient learning, adaptive decision-making, and scalable optimization are required. Although classical machine learning (ML) and reinforcement methods have greatly contributed to agent intelligence, they are usually restricted by constraints of computational complexity, scaling, and convergence to high-dimensional decision space.
