Rationality and Intelligence

The long-term goal of artificial intelligence (AI) research is the
creation and understanding of intelligence.  Productive research in AI
benefits from a notion of intelligence that is precise enough to allow
the cumulative development of robust systems and useful theorems, yet
general enough to avoid defining away the interesting aspects of the
problem.  In this talk I outline a gradual evolution in our formal
conception of intelligence that brings it closer to our informal
conception and simultaneously reduces the gap between theory and
practice.
