For example, a question to Ben - Novamente is designed to achieve complex goals in complex environment but what goals in what environments should it achieve before you can call it a 100% complete AGI? Well, it's clear that truly general intelligence is possible only under conditions of

Well it seems more important to create some practical but imprecise formula rather than a strict mathematical definition - offering as much insight as a highly intelligent human is a good way to put it and something which can be verified. However aren't we limiting ourselves and making the task

From: Dmitri [EMAIL PROTECTED] how is the problem of defining intelligence handled by various acclaimed authors? I only know about the Turing test but that's only one possible way and one which is quite impractical. I have a brief summary of the definitions, as I see them, in the Section

What I'd like to see are reasonably powerful theorems of the form: In order to display general intelligence of level L according to definition G, using computational resources R, a system must display structures S and dynamics D. I'll be content that a definition of general intelligence is

Well, if someone has a goal of creating artifical intelligence, he has to find a way to determine when the goal is achieved, otherwise creating artificial intelligence is the same as creating something I don't know what. However to me it is more interesting not to find an single exact definition
