intelligence on whose terms?

Intelligence is not only the ability to reason; it is also the ability to find relevant material in memory and to deploy attention when needed.

When we speak about advanced artificial intelligence, or ‘general’ artificial intelligence, this is what we mean. An intelligence which operates at the same level, and in much the same manner, as human intelligence.

if we are truly to appreciate what non-human intelligence might consist of – and thus transform our understanding of our own abilities and those of others – we need to stop thinking about intelligence as something defined by human experience. Instead, we must from the outset think about intelligence as something more-than-human.

To define intelligence simply as what humans do is the narrowest way we could possibly think about it – and it is ultimately to narrow ourselves, and lessen its possible meaning. Rather, by expanding our definition of intelligence, and the chorus of minds which manifest it, we might allow our own intelligence to flower into new forms and new

Rethinking what intelligence might be also allows us to rethink the modes and mechanisms which might produce it, and thus to come up with new ways of being intelligent.

there are in fact many ways of doing intelligence, because intelligence is an active process, not just a mental capacity.
