Richard, I don't think Shane and Marcus's overview of definitions-of-intelligence is poor quality. I think it is just doing something different than what you think it should be doing. The overview is exactly that: A review of what researchers have said about the definition of intelligence.

Pei, I have a few thoughts about your paper. Your classification scheme for different types of intelligence definition seems to require that the concepts of percepts, actions and states be objectively measurable or identifiable in some way. I see this as a problem, because the concept of a

Richard, Thanks for the detailed comments! If you spend some time in my semantic theory, you will see that I never believe any concept can get any kind of objective meaning or true definition. All meanings depend on an observer, with its observation ability and limitation. The so called

I heavily agree with you, Richard. But perhaps the Hutter exercise has some value - simply by way of making us question the validity of any mathematical approach to intelligence. Well, there IS some value, (although BTW, at a glance they don't seem to recognize that IQ is not even a direct

Will, The situation you mentioned is possible, but I'd assume, given the similar functions from percepts to states, there must also be similar functions from states to actions, that is, AC = GC(SC), AH = GH(SH), GC ≈ GH Consequently, it becomes a special case of my Principle-AI, with a

Something I noticed while trying to fit my definition of AI into the categories given. There is another way that definitions can be principled. This similarity would not be on the function of percepts to action. Instead it would require a similarity on the function of percepts to internal state
