I always thought the goal of AI was implicitly understood and AI is just a fancy form of IO with zero or greater storage and zero or more feedback loops. Intelligence is just different contortions or multiples of this basic setup, plus a few other things related to the state and composition of the object with AI. Intelligence may not be a single value like a temperature but the constituent components could be weighted and represented with a general number. So a rock has close to zero intelligence and Einstein has n units and a fish is somewhere in between. But if you were comparing Einstein with Confucius you'd have to look at some constituent intelligence vectors (or some other mathematical construct) of each person to compare. We don't need to get overly complicated on this do we?
