Solomonoff induction seems to be an useful innate bias for the current approaches at general intelligence. It's basically a formalization of Occam's razor that states that instead of being completely random, the surrounding environment is mostly lawful and simple, and therefore most of the processes in it can be described by algorithms with short rather than long source code. Hutter has written a bit about NFL: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1111.3846.pdf http://arxiv.org/pdf/1105.5721.pdf
