| | Intelligence | **This course is about a phenomenon we often refer to as "intelligence".** \\ A number of features of natural intelligence remain unexplained. Like the focus of any good scientist should reflect, it is the //unexplained// and //ill-understood// aspects of this phenomenon that is our key focus here. | | | \\ Intelligence | **This course is about a phenomenon we often refer to as "intelligence".** \\ A number of features of natural intelligence remain unexplained.

| | \\ GMI / AGI | A number of terms have been used to refer to the various aspects that people study WRT intelligence. We use the terms "general machine intelligence" (GMI) and "artificial general intelligence" (AGI), in their most general sense (no pun intended), to refer to the various aspects of intelligence that allow an agent to deal with //variety, incompleteness, and incremental information gathering//. | | | \\ GMI / AGI | A number of terms have been used to refer to the various aspects that people study WRT intelligence.

| | \\ Advanced topics | The main focus of course is //not// the latest and greatest methods to come out of the field called "AI". Instead, it is about unanswered //scientific questions//. \\ Nevertheless, we will make some references to contemporary AI methods along the way (much of which is ANN-based), and you may even learn something about them. What is meant by "next-generation" are the upcoming-yet-unadapted ideas, methods, and approaches that the field of AI is developing now and which will soon make contemporary AI methods mostly irrelevant. | | | \\ Advanced topics | The main focus of course is //not// the latest and greatest methods to come out of the field called "AI".
