# On Defining the Intelligence of Behaviour and Machines

P. H. Millar

*Proceedings of the Second International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 279-285.

## Abstract

Despite its merits the Turing test does not analyse intelligence in a practical way. The "intelligence" of psychologists is little better but consideration of psychological and neurological ideal experiments suggests that intelligence is judged on the basis of the decision-making in the chain 'input-decideoutput'. We cannot separate any specific behaviour syndrome as 'intelligence'- display.
