Bots aren’t the way to intelligent systems. Here are some pointers:

To think about and talk about AI concepts the rules and facts are low level. As one implements, rules and facts take center stage. If I were to ask "what do the rules do?" One would likely answer "everything." By the say Stefan, have you checked out the Chatbots.org forums? They have an AI Zone forum that I look at occasionally. ( https://www.chatbots.org/ai_zone/ ) I like the idea of using a conversational bot as a platform to try out AI ideas, but I haven't produced a bot yet. I've used "Clips" as a programming environment when I want to experiment with behavior that involves lots of rules. It's pretty well "old school" but not that hard to learn.

Rules are basically natural language plus certain operators plus embedded code fragments. Rules can process as well as generate user input, bot output & facts. There are also meta rules and facts (those which talk about other rules and facts). Stanley Nilsen <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > schrieb am Fr., 31.

If an intelligent device is to be planned and built according to a modular architecture, it would be appropriate to determine what the “storage” of the intelligence looks like. What will the device contain that makes it intelligent? Are these “blocks” of intelligence measurable? Can this intelligence be wired into the unit easily? Part of the reason for looking at this essence of intelligence is to better see what needs to surround the intelligence to have a complete system. In my thinking (over the past few years,) I've come to favor a way of looking at intelligence that can easily lead to a fairly complete “generally” intelligent device. Intelligence Stuff The stuff that goes into intelligence is knowledge, but knowledge alone isn't enough. For knowledge to contribute to intelligence, it has to be in a “package” consisting of several pieces of knowledge, and physical accessories, which all relate to one another in a specific way. To refer to this package, I call it “opportunity.” People have a common understanding of opportunity, and it fits nicely into the conversation about intelligence. Consider that an opportunity is related to a benefit, and one's situation. This implies that we can “choose” an opportunity when it is likely to bring benefit. The idea being that we make a good “choice” given the situation – doing the intelligent thing. You may object to giving opportunity a “high status” because awareness of an opportunity doesn't give us that opportunity. And I would be the first to agree. But, I would say that one only has real opportunity when he can execute a recipe that will bring benefit. In other words, you only have opportunity if you have the whole package, and the opportunity package (the unit of intelligence) includes being able to take action that causes changes (benefits) in the real world. This taking action is what makes intelligence much more than intellectual exercise. In the view from 50,000 feet, the mature intelligent device has hundreds of opportunity to choose from in a given moment. It's overall “score” on the intelligence scale is determined by both it's quantity of opportunity and the quality of each opportunity. Cloning intelligence would mean giving the less mature unit opportunities that it can add to it's store of opportunity. There is much more that can be said about architecture centered around opportunity. I would be happy to engage in a discussion if anyone is interested.
