Cool things that computers can't do?
This topic has been always overcome in the last years. Finally, an algorithm can imitate and do these cool things that we considered as intelligent. Machines imitating intelligent human behavior?Any imitation is based on procedures resolved previously with (human) intelligence. Therefore, why not consider this imitation as intelligent? We, the human being, are living imitating and repeating constantly procedures from other humans.
Autonomous and adaptive systems?
Autonomy is achieved with a certain intelligence. Adaptation is an intelligent evolution of the current species. From a certain point of view, we can consider as intelligent any system that can be work autonomously and can be adapted and adjusted automatically depending on new factors and scenarios.
On my opinion
Who can be in possession of the true and the reason describing the intelligence? Why cannot exist many types of intelligence? What determines the concept of intelligence? I consider intelligence as any behavior than respond to the environment solving the problem or overcoming adversity with an optimal and profitable result. Depending on the degree achieved with that result, we can consider a best or a worst intelligence.
The above description could be the definition of simplistic intelligence. If we introduce the capacity of that intelligence to self learn from the experience and adapt this experience to new scenarios, this intelligence is more advanced and complex.
Finally, intelligence can grow in complexity and make relations with other types of intelligence that are capable to solve other specific tasks. When these types of intelligence are joined to face new unknown challenges, collective intelligence achieves a very high level of intelligence.
Consciousness could be, at the moment, the top level of intelligence, the limit, or the frontier between the human being and the machines.
