- “A process by which the power of appropriate selection is increased beyond the intelligence of the system which controls that process” (K. KRIPPENDORFF, 1986, p.40).
KRIPPENDORFF, taking as an example a computer programmed to play chess, writes: “… if that computer is programmed to compute more alternatives, recalls successes and failures with increasing perfection and makes better and faster decisions than its programmer could make, then it exceeds or will soon exceed that programmer's manifest ability to make informed decisions” (Ibid).
Thus, intelligence amplification is conditioned by rules, and meta-rules, which are used to understand inputs, select and perfect responses, and possibly invent some new ones.
