Intelligent behavior is a composite ability to predict one’s environment coupled with a translation of each prediction into a suitable response in light of some objective. Success in predicting an environment is a prerequisite to intelligent behavior.
Fogel 1999, p. 3
In the early days of artificial intelligence (AI), during the 1950s and 1960s, research in understanding intelligence through the construction of computational systems followed two distinctly different schools of thought: what might be called the “bottom-up” and “top-down” approaches to modeling intelligent behavior. From the bottom-up, or bionics, viewpoint, implementations of intelligence ...
