2.6 The ultimate objective of Intelligence

What is Intelligence trying to achieve

The ultimate objective of Intelligence is a matter of debate and varies depending on one's own perspective and values. However, some possible ultimate objectives of Intelligence might include:

1. 1. 1. Maximizing well-being - it can be argued that the ultimate objective of Intelligence should be to maximize biological well-being, which can include physical health, mental health, happiness, and life satisfaction.

1. 1. 2. Solving complex problems - the ultimate objective of Intelligence may be to solve extremely complex high-level problems, such as climate change, poverty, and inequality, that require innovative solutions and collective action.

1. 1. 3. Advancing knowledge - perhaps the ultimate objective of Intelligence should be to advance knowledge and understanding in various fields, such as science, technology, and philosophy, to better understand the world and improve Human lives.

1. 1. 4. Surviving and thriving - a possible ultimate objective of Intelligence is to ensure the survival and thriving of Humanity and other forms of life on Earth, and extending life to other planets.

The ultimate objective of Intelligence is likely to be a combination of these and other factors, influenced by individual and societal values, goals, and priorities, and this ultimate objective will be uniquely different in many ways for each form of life and that life’s specific circumstances.

However, none of these objectives consider a ‘Universal’ view of Intelligence as described in ‘axiom v.’ which is: 

v. Intelligence itself operates as a massively fragmented and distributed system, with a wide range of variable Capabilities contained within many different embodied entities. When all of these different Intelligent entities are brought together and considered as an aggregated Single Unified Entity, then it can be considered to be a perfect Hyperselfish Intelligence. AI embodies and massively empowers Hyperselfish Intelligence.
