How would you define what intelligence is, in simple terms to a layman?

  Model-based simulation and planning across a hierarchy of temporospatial scales. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3482298/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3482298/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959438813000172 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095943881... https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/~karl/Whatever%20next.pdf https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/~karl/Whatever%20next.pdf

    What you describe sounds very much like a system that could be implemented with computers and software. Has anyone ever tried to do that?

      There are existing software implementations, particularly the various free-energy principle implementations available in SPM from UCL (albeit, in Matlab), and a few others. What has tended to happen is that neuroscientists are more interested in a minimal bio-plausible proof of principle, and machine learners often don't keep entirely up to date with neuroscience after their training. As a result, a lot of the most interesting ideas in neuroscience haven't been scaled up to larger machine-learning applications yet. Me being a dual trainee in both fields, well, I'm working on it.
