This way, the initial knowledge base needed to answer the IQ questions could be specified as a certain series of bits, which could be fed to AIXI as part of its initial knowledge state.
A new AIXI would be "dumb" in a certain sense as it wouldn't know anything about the world. It order to turn it into a real super intelligence you would need to allow it to interact with the world. As it did so it would "optimally" build a computable model of the world based on its experiences. Because its model building of the world it lives in is optimal (in a certain technical sense), pretty much any sufficiently rich source of information will do, and the more the better. Perhaps by feeding in 1000 TV channels, all of wikipedia, perhaps the whole Google database, and giving it a robot body or two to play with etc. As its world model continues to grow based on all this information it wouldn't be too long before it could easily deal with IQ tests... assuming of course that it is still friendly and cares about doing your little IQ test ;-) Shane ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=11983
