My theory of intelligence is something like this. Intelligence requires the changing of programmatic-structures in an arbitrary fashion, so that we can learn, and learn how to learn. This is because I see intelligence as the means to solve the problem solving problem. It does not solve one problem but changes and reconfigures itself to solve whatever problems it faces, within its limited hardware/software and energy constraints. This arbitrary change can result in the equivalent of bugs and viruses, this means there needs to be ways for these to be removed and prevented from spreading. This requires there be a way to distinguish good programs from bad, so that the good programs are allowed to remove bugs from others, and the bad programs prevented from being able to alter other programs. Solving this problem is non-trivial and requires thinking about computer systems in a different way to other weak AI problems. Narrow AI is generally solving a single problem, and so does not need to change so drastically and so does not need the safeguards. It can just concentrate on solving its problem.
