OTHER RESEARCHERS HATE HIM!
Intelligence has always been slippery to define. No consensus exists among scientists whose work is the creation of 'artificial' intelligence.
One interesting recent definition was from an MIT scientist Alex Wissner Gross a highly credentialed researcher at MIT. So
F = T ∇ Sτ
F is Force of intelligence
T is strength to maintain future actions
With diversity of future options S over time horizon τ
{intelligence is that which seeks to maximize the range of freedom in future activities)
>Universes with more entropy are more conducive to intelligence. Alex WG discussed Entropica, a program that appears to make it’s own goals by maximising long term entropy.
>This naturally allows it to balance a pole upright, tool use, social networking, play the stock market – even without being instructed to do so. All these inherently human traits can be encouraged by this one equation.
