allintelligenza

Allintelligenza is a term from Italian discourse referring to a concept of intelligence that aims to be comprehensive or universal, sometimes described as the integration of cognitive abilities across multiple domains. The word is formed from all (meaning “all” or “complete”) and intelligenza (intelligence). It is not a standard term in established academic psychology or AI literature, but it appears in contemporary discussions about the nature of intelligence and the ambitions of artificial systems.

In usage, allintelligenza is often invoked in debates about artificial general intelligence (AGI) and multi-domain AI. Proponents use it to frame a hypothetical endpoint where a single system can perform a wide range of tasks with human-like or beyond-human proficiency, while critics warn that the term can be vague and risk conflating disparate capabilities such as learning, reasoning, perception, and creativity.

The concept is sometimes contrasted with narrow AI, which excels at specific tasks but lacks broad applicability. Some writers treat allintelligenza as a methodological ideal, guiding research toward more integrative architectures, meta-learning, and cross-domain transfer. Others view it as a philosophical notion about the completeness of intelligence, rather than a practical blueprint.
