What the definition of intelligence is, is the topic of this episode of The AI Minute. For more on Artificial Intelligence: https://voicesinai.com https://gigaom.com https://byronreese.com https://ift.tt/31WftGA... Transcript: We don't have an agreed upon definition of intelligence. Back in 2007 two researchers, Shane Legg and Marcus Hutter, set about to try to catalog the various definitions that are out there. They put 70 in their paper but acknowledged there are many many more than that. The really interesting thing is that it isn’t that there are a few candidates that people are divided about which ones are really intelligent, nor is there a situation where there is a plurality of consensus where 20% of people think this is a good definition and 30% think that one and so forth. The truth is that nobody has the definition that could be thought of as in any way in the mainstream as being in any kind of the lead. What does this mean? I think it means one of a couple of things. It either means that the word is meaningless, the concept is meaningless and the reason that nobody agrees on it is simply because there's nothing on which to agree. This of course is unsatisfying. The second one is that there's no consensus because we don't understand what it is. And I think that one is probably closer to the truth.
