Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence by a computer. Everyone agrees on that. You will find that those who claim to have developed one avoid saying what human intelligence is. Thus, they can claim anything and everything. Consequently, there can be no agreement on what this discipline is and one enters into quarrels of chapels, of religion.
This is my definition of intelligence, whether human, animal or bacterial:
INTELLIGENCE = REASONING X KNOWLEDGE.
It’s an equation that means :
1) there is no intelligence nor AI without reasoning ((deduction called « contraposed »)
2) The greater the knowledge, the more intelligent you are
3) better is reasoning greater is intelligence
4) without knowledge on a given subject intelligence is null (deduction which one calls « contraposed »)
For those who are unsure of what reasoning is, it is SYLLOGISM (defined by Aristotle 2,400 years ago). We all practice it unconsciously, like animals and bacteria. Its deductive power is phenomenal, read The extraordinary mechanics of reasoning.
This blog will discuss around the postulate INTELLIGENCE = REASONING X KNOWLEDGE to show that a real AI can settle in each of us since it has existed for 30 years in France (without being talked about).
