Cats and people share common capabilities, which can be tested for by the same test. A human or a dog fetching a stick is very much the same thing. > problems and even if they could they can't use a pen to write down > their answer. Thus intelligence tests need to take into account the Clearly behaviour evaluation to assess task completion applies to any system in any environment. In most environments, a human observer would evaluate very well, especially if the it's an interactive learning and/or reward/punishment scenario requiring communication. > environment that the agent needs to deal with, the ways in which it > can interact with its environment, and also what types of cognitive > abilities might reasonably be expected.

Calling human sensory capabilities in comparison to an AI restricted gives reason to some serious amusement. There are some very very few domains where AI excel in perception (sniffing packets, operating in multidimensional spaces and similiar), but they're not AGIs. They're very brittle, domain-specific problem solvers. > such the ways in which we measure intelligence, and indeed our > whole notion of what intelligence is, needs to be expanded to > accommodate this. Once AGI perform as well as animal or human subjects in task completion you don't have to worry about defining intelligence metrics. You'd be too busy with trying to stay alive. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
