Intelligence

AI provides output because it has access to all the information in the world. Have you seen any intelligent person sit with thousands of datasets?

Between the ages of 3 and 5, a child develops the theory of mind. It begins to understand what the other person is thinking and starts to respond in reference to that.

Any of you who have ever been in a negotiation knows that you need to try and guess what the other person is thinking. It takes intelligence to do that. The truly intelligent can do this not because they have a lot of data, but because they do it in the absence of it.

Most of the people engaged at the leadership levels of any organisation spend their time making decisions. Often their decisions are made in the absence of perfect information. The fact that they are not constrained by the lack of information and can function is what enables them to make a lot of money.

The current state of AI takes the opposite track and throws as much information as possible into a model and expects it to produce the right answer. Wherever knowledge gaps appear, the system hallucinates because it does not know how to reason in the absence of information.

Intelligence would be having the ability to reason and arrive at answers in the absence of information. Honestly, nobody seems to be building it.
