The concept of general intelligence as measured by standard IQ tests has always been a difficult fit for evolutionary psychology. This paper argues that intelligence is a set of domain general abilities which was not designed to solve any specific problem from the human evolutionary past. Rather, general intelligence equips humans to make mental models of the environment and to develop action p...

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) seeks theories, models and techniques to endow machines with the kinds of intellectual abilities exemplified by humans. Yet, the predominant instance-driven approach in AI appears antithetical to this goal. This situation raises a question: What (if any) general principles underlie general intelligence? We approach this question from a (mathematical) catego...

We investigated the influence of the position effect on the relationship between fluid intelligence and general intelligence. The position effect reflects the dependency of responses to items on the position of the items and, therefore, is a possible bias in measurement. A special confirmatory factor model enables the subdivision of the true component of a fluid intelligence measure into abilit...

Many researchers have argued that humanity will create artificial general intelligence (AGI) within the next twenty to one hundred years. It has been suggested that AGI may inflict serious damage to human well-being on a global scale (‘catastrophic risk’). After summarizing the arguments for why AGI may pose such a risk, we review the fieldʼs proposed responses to AGI risk. We consider societal...

Do simple animals, even single-celled animals, display general intelligence? If we take this to mean that they can cope with their environment, even when it is dynamic, the answer would have to be yes. What is it that gives them this easy capability, yet makes it hard for us to design systems which have it? We suggest that it is from the non-determinism which arises from the lowest levels of th...
