MInD: Don’t Use Agents as Objects

  • Conference paper
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI 2014)

Abstract

What is intelligence? Since it is not possible to see the internal details of intelligence, it is described by its behaviours, that include: problem solving, learning and language [1]. These behaviours are expected outputs of intelligence, but they are not the intelligence itself. Intelligence is rather what makes them possible. That could be: “The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge”. With that goal, the MInD, a Model for Intelligence Development, is an in development framework for multi-agent systems.
