can interact with its environment, and also what types of cognitive
abilities might reasonably be expected. However it seems unlikely
that AIs will be restricted to having senses, cognitive abilities or

whole notion of what intelligence is, needs to be expanded to
accommodate this.

Why would machines need a different test of intelligence than
people or animals?
