Intelligence

Latin: intelligere:- ‘to understand’

There are two general meanings derived from this, one by the APA, and a second by a group of intelligence researchers

Page 5: Artificial Stupidity

APA

“Individuals differ from one another in their ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by taking thought.”

Source: Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns, 1996, AP, February

Mainstream Science on Intelligence

“A very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience.

It is not merely book learning, a narrow academic skill, or test-taking smarts.

Rather, it reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings—"catching on", "making sense" of things, or "figuring out" what to do”

What is the essence of these statements?

APA: “Individuals differ from one another in their ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by taking thought.”

1837 The Analytical Engine

• Effectively would have been a mechanical computer

• Babbage worked on it till he died in 1871• Work was abandoned in 1878

The CYC Project

• This is a project designed to capture the commonsense of humanity, ambitious:YES

• It currently contains x00,000’s of terms and millions of assertions.

• The founder, Doug Lenat predicts that the project will need around 100 million assertions before it can begin ‘reading’ literature.

Video Game AI

Steve Rabin (Game AI) provides 2 definitions:

“Game AI is any technique that contributes to the perceived intelligence of an entity, regardless of what’s under the hood.”

“Techniques that generate artefacts that would normally be created by the game developers (like environment/layout, story, music, or models/animations/textures).”

6 factors of Hardcore games

1. Difficult controls2. Overwhelming options3. Prerequisite knowledge4. Abstract memorization5. Unclear goals6. Unclear solutions

Page 24: Artificial Stupidity

Difficult Controls

Welcome GTA IV

Convoluted Controls

Weird inexplicit timing

Overwhelming Options

• Master of Orion 2

Page 27: Artificial Stupidity

Prerequisite Gaming Knowledge

• What happens when you pick up a new weapon?• Why does the block you keep destroying

reappear?• Why doesn’t the door open?• What do you do with the key you found?• Press ‘c’ to crouch

Abstract Memorization

• This refers to anything that is not obvious or intuitive to any person.

‘The Unreal link gun heals your vehicles’‘The stamina bar runs out when you run lots’

Page 29: Artificial Stupidity

Unclear Goals

• Figuring out what to do is a task for the hardcore gamer

• Casual gamers would rather know what they are expected to do next

• Implied goals are not good enough for casual gamers (13 / 26 Gems Collected)
