They need to go beyond defining intelligence. They need to operationalize intelligence.

The problems still are many. First, we've already operationalized intelligence, namely through IQ tests see Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Universal Nonverbal Intelligence, Differential Ability Scales, Peabody Individual Achievement Test, Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, &c. Even so, HN users will both point out the (in)validity of these but also the (in)validity with respect to applying them to AI.

The real problem is that intelligence is a socially defined phenomenon, as opposed to an essential metaphysical property. If we admit that, many of the definition foibles we have become irrelevant.
