How do cognitivists quantify intelligence?
In terms of material structures and the processes they facilitate (memory retention, pattern recognition).
What criteria might be used to benchmark an intelligence?
Rationality, empathy, creativity, and foresight.
What was Alan Turings Imitation Game?
‘If it acts like an intelligent agent, it is an intelligent agent.’
Define intelligence.
Goal-directed adaptive behaviour.
When and where did the St Francis Dam collapse?

How might a reward function be modified to dis-incentivise side-effects?
By introducing a impact regularisation term.
What is Robust Policy Improvement?
An AI protocol in which the agent simulates the trajectory of the environment (and possibly other agents) in order to better regularise its impact.
What is the minimax strategy and how can it be used to design intelligent agents?
The minimax strategy is to reward a behaviour using the reward function (of a set) that yield the lowest reward. The idea behind this is to encourage the robot to minimize all of its prospective reward functions simultaneously.
