Intelligence, historically, has been defined as the ability of an individual to adapt to the environment. Building on this definition, I argue for a concept of adaptive intelligence whereby adapting to, shaping, and selecting real-world environments so as to recognize, define, and solve real-world problems—not just artificial ones—is the core of what constitutes intelligent thought and behavior.
