Information Versus Intelligence: The Legitimate Approximation and Variability Between Processed Data and Evidence-Based Knowledge
Abstract
This study delineates the convergent and divergent relationships between information and intelligence. Correspondingly, intelligence and information are considered a part of the same
continuum despite differing in hierarchy and definition; however, they are equally important for making the right decisions. Intelligence is the capacity to comprehend and use information,
with information showing how the world is right now, while intelligence prescribes what to do based on prior experiences that direct, predict, and advise what to do in situations not previously faced, as well as what the likely outcome will be. Intelligence is a process or an intrinsic ability to use information to respond to an ever-changing environment, rather than just information without direction. In a nutshell, intelligence is the ability to acquire, adapt, change, extend, and apply information in order to resolve uncertainty.
