link to a few "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy" articles for more details about certain concepts; emphasis on the dialogue

Mar 22, 2019 at 1:41 | comment | added | Roddus | Sure, The concept of intelligence is vague, but in part because early (and later) AI used the word to refer to externally observable behaviour rather than in the traditional sense of inner content and process. But anyway, common-or-garden use of the word doesn't wrinkle too many brows, so there is some utility in the idea. Not much is known about perception, but there are pretty good tests for generalization. E.g., Turing's half-joking dialogue in his 1950 paper about winter and Christmas. A system that can display that level of abstraction and knowledge would have my vote for generalization. | |
Nov 7, 2018 at 16:20 | comment | added | Dunk | attaching the definition of 'intelligence' to be specifically 'human-like' is very arbitrary and self-serving to those wishing to claim that a true AI cannot be built. Additionally, who is to say that 'human-like' intelligence is even a remotely optimal form of intelligence. Finally, even the definitions of generalization and perception given require using words and phrases that are as equally vague and unprovable as the word 'intelligence' itself. | |
