New intelligence measure proposes canonical rewards derived from environments

Researchers have introduced a new measure of intelligence called intervention complexity, which aims to provide a canonical reward function within the Legg-Hutter universal intelligence framework. This measure is derived from the environment itself and is indexed by a resource bias, such as program length or execution time, offering a principled way to assess intelligence without external normative input. The framework also proposes a two-dimensional characterization of intelligence focusing on agent competence and learning efficiency, with the choice of resource bias influencing the computability of the measure.

    Intervention Complexity as a Canonical Reward and a Measure of Intelligence

    arXiv:2605.02175v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Legg--Hutter universal intelligence measure provides a rigorous scalar assessment of general intelligence as expected reward across all computable environments, weighted by simplicity. However, the measure presupposes an externa…
