Intelligence requires Knowledge

“Every knowledgeable person is not intelligent but every intelligent person is knowledgeable”.

This statement provides a very strong foundation for the above mentioned Title. But first of all, what is knowledge? It is the internal representation of facts. A single fact can vary from person to person’s perspective in terms of knowledge. We will come to its detailed explanation later.

Knowledgeable person may have huge knowledge base but fails to use it when required in real life situation. But an intelligent person knows when and how to use that knowledge base to solve a problem. This intelligence makes human, different and superior from every other thing.

Artificial Intelligence also requires knowledge. But this knowledge can’t be anything. There are some knowledge characteristics:
Desirable property — Indispensability.
Less desirable Property -
1. It is voluminous.
2. It is hard to characterize accurately.
3. It is constantly changing.
4. There is a difference between the way it is organized and it is used.

AI technique is a method that exploits knowledge .
Knowledge should be represented so that -
1. Generalisation. Situation that share same property are grouped together.
2. Data provider must understand it.
3. Can be modified to rectify errors.
4. Can be used, if partially or almost complete but not entirely.

It is not yet over, there is more to it!!
