According to my
point of view, intelligence can be described as a functionality of a
no embodiment component. This functionality has capabilities to make
decisions and take suitable actions. The no embodiment component I
have mentioned here is not strongly associated with the brain,
instead it exist somewhere above the brain and manipulate the brain
activity. The visible outcome of the intelligence is performing an
action. The action coheres with a set of decisions made by thought
classification.
A decision cannot
make without knowledge. The knowledge can be either explicit or
tacit. The explicit knowledge mostly represents factors in the
environment or the situation. The tacit knowledge represents the
value (knowledge) can be added to the explicit knowledge. Making a
set of decisions depends on explicit knowledge while selecting a
decision about what action to be performed depends on tacit
knowledge.
So far it is clear
that intelligence is all about manipulating the knowledge. Therefore
it is necessary to have knowledge collecting mechanism to gain or
implement intelligent properties. This knowledge collecting mechanism
can be either Cognition or Perception. The no embodiment component
should store the collected knowledge in such a way that the knowledge
could use to make relationships among them. This storage mechanism
will be discussed in another article.
The cognition is
allowing to collect knowledge without experience or self-awareness of
the knowledge. The knowledge gained form cognition should implement
above mentioned correlations among different knowledge groups to
ensure the accuracy of its actions. The perception is realizing the
knowledge. Realization of knowledge is performed on the knowledge
gained from cognition. Tacit knowledge is most of the time gained by
perception.
The Cognition is
strongly used to make Artificial Intelligence a success. The problem
with this method is thought classification doesn’t use tacit
knowledge, which makes it half intelligent-half predefined. In
Artificial General Intelligence expectations of intelligence are on
human level or beyond without any physical or theoretical constraint.
As I see the AGI is in correct path with wrong compass. A human level
knowledge gaining mechanism is required to achieve intelligence of
human level or beyond.
Though humans are
using cognition to collect knowledge, the evolutionary process made
them to use perception. Adam and Eva have already given evidence for
that. The knowledge gained by perception makes perfective decisions.
It shouldn’t explicitly define a mechanism to reflect what
knowledge gained and doesn’t need strong interrelationships like in
cognition since realization crates a unique knowledge to the no
embodiment component.
Perception can
contribute to make a knowledge infrastructure for intelligence of
human level or beyond. Detailed understanding of perception,
knowledge storing and thought classification is required and to be
discussed.
