Abstract: Many definitions of intelligence exist, but for our purposes we use the following: intelligence is the ability to reach ones objectives. A system is more intelligent if it reaches its objectives faster and easier. This includes the ability to learn to do this. The intelligence of a system is a property of its mind. The mind is the functioning of its brain. Intelligent System (IS) is a system that learns during its existence. (In other words, it learns, for each situation, which response permits it to reach its objectives.) It continually acts, mentally and externally, and by acting reaches its objectives more often than pure chance would indicate.
This paper approaches the subject of paradigms for the categories of intelligent systems. First we can look at the term paradigm in its scientific meaning and then we make acquaintance with the main categories of intelligent systems (expert systems, intelligent systems based on genetic algorithms, artificial neuronal systems, fuzzy systems, hybrid intelligent systems). We will see that every system has one or more paradigms, but hybrid intelligent systems combine paradigms because they are made of different technologies.
