The speaker proposes defining intelligence as an aggregate of cognitive capabilities, distinguishing these from physical capabilities such as actuator strength.

“I often try to say that we should just define intelligence as a bunch as like an aggregate of capability,”

“actually, or maybe like an aggregate of cognitive capabilities, like maybe there's some physical capabilities like how strong your actuator is,”

“but then there's also cognitive capabilities like, are you able to distinguish a cat from a dog and are you able to speak grammatical sentences and how much do you know about Paris and things like that.”
