For centuries humans have pondered over the nature of intelligence. Many have created theories to develop a concrete understanding of its overall concept. This school of thoughts can be further subdivided into multiple threads. It began from a psychometric understanding of intelligence‚ which focused on very general mental capabilities. This included factors such as the ability to reason‚ or to comprehend and apply knowledge in the context of problem solving. However‚ this perspective left out other

They are sometimes presented as fiction‚ but others are in the form of essays or philosophical books.

The Social Impact of Artificial Intelligence By Matt Mahoney‚ Nov. 17‚ 2007 When we are able to create machines smarter than humans‚ then those machines could do likewise‚ but much faster. The result will be an explosion of intelligence‚ and according to Vernor Vinge‚ the end of the human era. The Friendly AI Problem The Singularity Institute was founded to counter the threat of unfriendly artificial intelligence‚ losing control of the machines we have built‚ but the problem remains unsolved

Is Intelligence Inherited? Some people think intelligence is inherited. There have been a lot of research on intelligence being inherited and not being inherited. It is a controversial issue. It is relevant to this course of study because it focus on the brain of how people think as well as behavior on how people act. Intelligence relates to knowledge and inherit is getting or receiving something from the gene of a parent. It is amazing how some people think or how they were trained to think

Tomorrow The Time Machine written by H.G. Wells is metaphorically describing humanity as being peaceful on the surface‚ but under hidden depths there is a desire to be destructive. In the early chapters of the book‚ the time traveller expects the descendants of mankind to be super-intelligent‚ but is disappointed by the behaviour of the supposedly advanced species‚ the Eloi. His curiosity about the mysterious wells leads to his discovery of the Morlocks and their hidden technology‚ and what he

of ship work. They only had one day off every 13 days. These workers were in a high dudgeon when they were treated like slave machine satisfying their greedy owners. Nine Chinese sociologists wrote a letter calling for an end to the work practice‚ which they commented as "a model where fundamental human dignity is sacrificed for development" (Apple Factory). The Time Machine novel is written by H. G. Wells reflecting exactly this social issue that we are facing: it is the exploitation from the upper

Generalization is the ability of a machine learning algorithm to perform accurately on new‚ unseen examples after training on a finite data set. The core objective of a learner is to generalize from its experience.[2] The training examples from its experience come from some generally unknown probability distribution and the learner has to extract from them something more general‚ something about that distribution‚ that allows it to produce useful answers in new cases. Machine learning‚ knowledge discovery

of intelligence is the best known compromise between the singular intelligence theory and the multiple intelligences theory. This model of intelligence proposes that there is a ‘g factor’ or general intelligence factor which was taken from Carroll’s original model. In the CHC model the general intelligence factor is made up of many different cognitive abilities. The piece that was taken from the Cattell&Horn model was the idea that there are two main types of intelligence: fluid intelligence and
