I may be coming in from left field and haven't read a lot of these discussions on defining intelligence, but defining intelligence verbally, yes, it can have numerous descriptions and arguments. But I need something concrete and measurable in the form of an equation. Is that too much to ask for? I mean that's how it usually works right?
No, it is not too much to ask for, though it is not easy to get, if possible.
Intelligence - we're talking about storing and flipping bits - minimalistically that's it. How many variables will it take to come up with an equation? 6? 7? Some of the variables are specific and some may be general. One may be a measurement of complexity, one a vector set including a generalized description of goals?, I don't know...another a KR? Either way there are just a few variables going on here and someone needs to propose a few candidate equations for review. Perhaps there are some in previous posts that I missed or do I need to come up with something myself :).
I'm afraid it is not so simple, otherwise we shouldn't still arguing about what the goal of AI really is after more than 50 years.
