A Definition of Artificial Intelligence

TL;DR

This paper proposes a formal, knowledge-independent definition of Artificial Intelligence that allows for the construction of AI objects, including newborns, differing from traditional definitions like Turing's.

Contribution

It introduces a novel formal definition of AI that excludes knowledge, providing a new perspective on what constitutes intelligence.

Findings

Defines AI without knowledge as a core component

Provides an algorithmic approach to constructing AI objects

Highlights limitations due to combinatory explosion

Abstract

In this paper we offer a formal definition of Artificial Intelligence and this directly gives us an algorithm for construction of this object. Really, this algorithm is useless due to the combinatory explosion. The main innovation in our definition is that it does not include the knowledge as a part of the intelligence. So according to our definition a newly born baby also is an Intellect. Here we differs with Turing's definition which suggests that an Intellect is a person with knowledge gained through the years.
