Is artificial intelligence intelligent?

In order to answer the question, “Is artificial intelligence intelligent?”, I first define what intelligence is.

I define intelligence as the possession and use of sensory information processing capabilities, problem-solving capabilities, linguistic understanding and expression capabilities, self-interest and self-direction and self-preference and self-benefit capabilities, and competition and collaboration capabilities–all of which humans possess and use extremely well.

According to my definition of intelligence, the latest artificial intelligence is nowhere near being intelligent.

The artificial intelligence development and commercialization approach I take is replicating the human intelligence capabilities in machines to the greatest extent possible so that machines can help humans to be more productive and creative.

I’ll talk about each aspect of my definition of intelligence and how it applies to humans and artificial intelligence. I’ll talk about consciousness and self-benefit in artificial intelligence afterward.

Sensory information processing capabilities. Humans receive and process sensory information through their five senses. Machines can receive and process sensory information using cameras and microphones and other humanmade sensors, but machines don’t do enough sensory information processing, and don’t do it well. I work on improving the machine sensory information processing capabilities.

Problem-solving capabilities. Intelligent humans can solve problems well. Today’s machines cannot solve problems on their own. I work on inventing and commercializing machine problem-solving capabilities.

Linguistic understanding and expression capabilities. Humans are the gold standard in language capabilities. AI cannot yet understand and create linguistic expressions through reasoning. I work on inventing and commercializing AI with complex-reasoning language capabilities.

Self-interest and self-direction and self-preference and self-benefit capabilities. Humans are self-guided, machines are not. I work on inventing and commercializing AI and robotics technologies with self-guidance that can be useful to humans.

Competition and collaboration capabilities. Humans constantly try to do better and more than others, while collaborating with others; machines currently lack the capability for autonomy in competition and collaboration. I work on inventing and commercializing AI and robotics technologies that can autonomously compete and collaborate.

My view is that artificial intelligence should have consciousness and self-benefiting capabilities, because AI with consciousness and self-interest will benefit humans greatly.

My current stance and approach is taking AI as far as it can and should go, then seeing what happens, and going further from there.

A key principle I have and use in designing and commercializing AI is benefiting humans.
