Abstract :
A new metric for performance assessment of intelligent machines has been developed. The method fuses concepts from the Theory of Intelligent Machines proposed by Saridis (1988) with traditional reliability analysis in the development of a measure which reflects both the uncertainty inherent in the intelligent machine and the uncertainty allowed by the task description. The metric is entropy based, and is shown to be analogous to a measure of system reliability
