Understanding General Intelligence
General intelligence has evolved as the capacity to acquire and reason across various knowledge domains, enabling problem-solving and adaptive skills transfer. The concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI) remains debated with varying criteria for achievement. Evolutionary views suggest intelligence adaptivity to ecological niches without a universal solution akin to no free lunch theorem in machine learning.
