6. "Intelligence is the ability to use optimally limited resources - including time
- to achieve goals." R. Kurzweil [20]
7. "Intelligence is the power to rapidly find an adequate solution in what appears a priori (to observers) to be an immense search space." D. Lenat and E. Feigenbaum [23]
8. "Intelligence measures an agent's ability to achieve goals in a wide range of environments." S. Legg and M. Hutter [22]
9. ". . . doing well at a broad range of tasks is an empirical definition of 'intelligence' "
H. Masum [24]
10. "Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world. Varying kinds and degrees of intelligence occur in people, many animals and some machines." J. McCarthy [25]
11. ". . . the ability to solve hard problems." M. Minsky [26]
12. "Intelligence is the ability to process information properly in a complex environment. The criteria of properness are not predefined and hence not available beforehand. They are acquired as a result of the information processing." H. Nakashima [27]
13. ". . . in any real situation behavior appropriate to the ends of the system and adaptive to the demands of the environment can occur, within some limits of speed and complexity." A. Newell and H. A. Simon [29]
14. "[An intelligent agent does what] is appropriate for its circumstances and its goal, it is flexible to changing environments and changing goals, it learns from experience, and it makes appropriate choices given perceptual limitations and finite computation." D. Poole [31]
15. "Intelligence means getting better over time." Schank [32]
16. "Intelligence is the ability for an information processing system to adapt to its environment with insufficient knowledge and resources." P. Wang [39]
17. ". . . the mental ability to sustain successful life." K. Warwick quoted in [4] 18. ". . . the essential, domain-independent skills necessary for acquiring a wide range of domain-specific knowledge - the ability to learn anything. Achieving this with 'artificial general intelligence' (AGI) requires a highly adaptive, general-purpose system that can autonomously acquire an extremely wide range of specific knowledge and skills and can improve its own cognitive ability through self-directed learning." P. Voss [38]
