A Definition of Artificial Intelligence
This work addresses the foundational problem of defining AI for researchers, but it is incremental as it builds on existing philosophical debates without practical implementation.
The paper proposes a formal definition of Artificial Intelligence that excludes knowledge as a component, leading to an algorithm for constructing AI, though it is rendered useless by combinatorial explosion. This definition contrasts with Turing's by considering a newborn baby as an intellect.
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.
