# Intelligence? Creativity?

## Ok, but, what intelligence is?

There is **no universally agreed upon definition of intelligence**. Different fields and disciplines have their own definitions and concepts of intelligence, and there is ongoing debate and research in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive science about what constitutes intelligence.

Some definitions of intelligence focus on cognitive abilities such as **problem-solving, perception, autonomous reasoning, planning, adaptativity and learning**, while others include traits such as emotional intelligence or social intelligence.&#x20;

Additionally, there is ongoing debate about whether certain characteristics, such as consciousness, are necessary for intelligence.

## And 'creativity'?

**Like intelligence, there is no universally agreed upon definition of creativity.**&#x20;

In general, **creativity is the ability to generate novel and valuable ideas, products, or solutions**.

There is **ongoing debate about whether computers can truly be creative**. Some argue that computers can simulate creativity by using algorithms and data to generate new ideas or solutions, but that this is not the same as true human creativity, which involves things like **emotion, intuition and consciousness**.&#x20;

Others argue that computers can be creative in the sense that they can produce novel and valuable ideas that were not previously known.
