Rationality and General Intelligence

چکیده
Humans are without any doubts the prototypical example of agents that can hold rational beliefs and can show rational behavior. If an AGI system is intended to model the full breadth of human-level intelligence, it is reasonable to take the remarkable abilities of humans into account with respect to rational behavior, but also the apparent deficiencies of humans in certain rationality tasks. Based on well-known challenges for human rationality (Wason-Selection task and Tversky & Kahneman’s Linda problem) we propose that rational belief of humans is based on cognitive mechanisms like analogy making and coherence maximization of the background theory. The analogy making framework Heuristic-Driven Theory Projection (HDTP) can be used for implementing these cognitive mechanisms.

Rationality-Guided AGI as Cognitive Systems
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within cognitive science (CogSci) necessitates further elaborations on, and modelings of, several indispensable cognitive criteria. We approach this issue by emphasizing the close relation between artificial general intelligence (AGI) and CogSci, and discussing, particularly, “rationality” as one of such indispensable criteria. We give arguments e...
متن کاملRationality in Decision Machines
This brief position paper1 sketches a view, in many respects conventional, of the role of rationality in artificial intelligence. In this view, rationality is primarily a way to describe coherence between actions and agent attitudes such as belief and preference. Decisions are the fundamental unit of calculation for a rational computer, and therefore we properly refer to them as decision machin...
متن کاملUniversal Algorithmic Ethics
This paper proposes a novel research direction for algorithmic probability theory, which now allows to formalize philosophical questions about concepts such as the simulation argument, personal identity, and the rationality of utilitarianism. Pushing progress in these directions might be of high relevance for future society and artificial general intelligence. We start to build up a set of form...
متن کاملAssessing Cognitive Abilities: Intelligence and More
In modern cognitive science, rationality and intelligence are measured using different tasks and operations. Furthermore, in several contemporary dual process theories of cognition, rationality is a more encompassing construct than intelligence. Researchers need to continue to develop measures of rational thought without regard to empirical correlations with intelligence. The measurement of ind...
متن کاملOn the Distinction Between Rationality and Intelligence: Implications for Understanding Individual Diff erences in Reasoning
A concern for individual differences has been missing from the Great Rationality Debate in cognitive science—the debate about how much irrationality to attribute to human cognition. There are individual differences in rational thinking that are less than perfectly correlated with individual differences in intelligence because intelligence and rationality occupy different conceptual locations in...

Rationality is a fundamental concept in economics. Most researchers will accept that human beings are not fully rational. Herbert Simon suggested that we are “bounded rational”. However, it is very difficult to quantify “bounded rationality”, and therefore it is difficult to pinpoint its impact to all those economic theories that depend on the assumption of full rationality. Ariel Rubinstein pr...
