intelligence

Definition

The broad capacity to adapt to novel situations and act effectively toward goals — the I in artificial intelligence. Because no agreed technical definition exists, careful papers avoid asserting that a system is intelligent and instead operationalize the claim as performance on specified tasks. Treat the word in a title as framing rather than as a measurable property.
