On the Definition of Intelligence

arXiv:2507. 22423v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: To engineer AGI, we should first capture the essence of intelligence in a species-agnostic form that can be evaluated, while being sufficiently general to encompass diverse paradigms of intelligent behavior, including reinforcement learning, generative models, classification, analogical reasoning, and goal-directed decision-making.

Bringing AI to Autonomous Systems -- From Cognition to Collective Intelligence

The article discusses autonomous systems as the pinnacle of AI development, emphasizing the need to blend connectionist and symbolic AI within systems engineering. It introduces a generic agent architecture that organizes behavior around long‑term memory and outlines challenges in linking sensory data to structured memory, goal‑oriented decision making, planning, and agent coordination for collective intelligence. The authors also explore agent trustworthiness, noting it extends beyond behavior to include cognitive validity, and propose methods for its evaluation while highlighting the gap between current capabilities and the envisioned autonomous multi‑agent systems.
