Physicist and programmer from Harvard derived a formula of intelligence

American physicist and computer programmer from Harvard and MIT Alex Wissner-gross (Alex Wissner-Gross) derived a formula of intelligence, which told on the transfer of TED talks and in his article in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters.

We are not talking about a new formula for measuring IQ of the person and of universal physical formula, which allowed to describe the intellectual process in General, for any object, as a living and not living, and this formula has practical application in the creation of artificial intelligence.

It is argued that intelligenceis power, aimed at the maximization of freedom of action in the future or, to speak more complex words, to the maximization of entropy production in some long term. Just like that.

Intelligence does not want to be sandwiched, he wants to be free. He wants to capture as many variants of a possible future.

In confirmation of the principle in particular proposes an artificial intelligence that is able to solve many tasks, for thinking solely in these concepts. Program without any prior training implements in experimental conditions with a set of complex intelligent behaviours. The program can play games, control the movement of robots to solve problems that require cooperation, and successfully play the stock market. Moreover, in contrast to most artificial intelligences, this program establishes its own tasks without waiting for specific instructions, man.

The author of the equation also talks about the plots of science fiction films, when intelligent robots are out of control and begin to fight for independence from their owners (people), offering to look at it this way: the desire to get out of control and perhaps is the very force that characterizes a creature endowed with intelligence.

Don't want to be free, so you're not intelligent enough. It seems that social Parallels this definition of intelligence is huge!

Science and technological progress is a constant expansion of our influence on the environment. Today, if we want using available nuclear capacity, it is possible to destroy almost all life on our planet. And you can allow life to develop further. This state control. True intelligence would never allow irreversible nuclear disaster, but will never agree to full nuclear disarmament, will not give up control.

Even humanism and transhumanism – while the person is alive, he can die, he can always kill. But if the man died, he did not return to life, not to bring his experience and personality. These thoughts may be familiar to you, but the reason we find meaning in these reflections, personally I was not clear. Now everything is clear: the real intelligence is to seek immortality and will not kill anyone just because it saves him the possibility of choice of the future. Immediately becomes clear why human life seems to be more important than the life of the animal farm: we usually can not distinguish two pigs from each other, so pigs are interchangeable, and therefore, the loss of pigs to a lesser extent, irreversible. Person to replace much more complicated. When “no one is irreplaceable”, then Stalin's tyranny.

Friendship of Nations – to destroy some people, some culture is always possible, but then this loss will not be able to fill. Real intelligence will not allow the genocide will not allow the loss of a substantial part of genetic and cultural diversity of the people and not only. The protection of endangered animals, the creation of the red book and protected areas why it seems so natural and right? This behavior is absolutely natural to beings endowed with intelligence: the variety of types you want to support to get rid of extra types, we always have time.

Freedom, including of speech is what real intelligence is to strive always. He agrees to be subordinate, to obey the will of others, to sit behind bars, will do anything to have more rights and more choice. The same applies to freedom of information. The intellect will seek to have access to any information. It's not the same as to stuff himself in the head with everything and does not mean that any information is equally valuable. But even the most ardent critic of some of astrology (like me) can hardly approve of the burning of all the astrological books, if he has a little bit of intelligence. He will retain the possibility of burning in the future.

Perhaps many of the problems the final choice that we all, one way or another, face in everyday life, is such a complex problem owing to the mentioned properties of intelligence.

The level of intelligence of the inhabitants of the Earth on average is increasing from generation to generation. This is called the Flynn effect. It seems logical to associate this trend with increasing interest in science, ideas of humanism and freedom of speech, abolition of slavery and other similar reforms around the world aimed at protecting human rights. It can be assumed that this growth will continue, no matter how hard it is to slow down individuals who prefer the obsolete medieval tradition of progress.

Evolution itself is aimed at creating a diversity of forms of living organisms occupying various environmental niches. Even if the conditions of life on Earth will change dramatically as a result of falling of an asteroid or other planetary catastrophe, it is likely that of the millions of species there are those who will be adapted and will survive and life will continue. In some broad sense, life in General, “reasonable”, but I would not confuse it with the archaic views of the omnipresent deity, lives in each of us.

I've been watching that smart (in my opinion) people often act in seemingly unrelated phenomena: the scientific and technological progress and for freedom of expression and information. Now this connection becomes concepts.

At the same time people who personally I think are not very smart as a rule, are against science and technological progress (the principal opponents of genetic engineering, vaccines, nuclear power, synthetic biology, denying the scientific advances, like the theory of evolution or the theory of relativity from a position of ignorance), willing to obey orders and try to limit the rights of others, the power of imposing its ideology as the only possible.published
