intelligence on whose terms?

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.

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

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.

At its core, intelligence can be viewed as a process that converts unstructured information into useful and actionable knowledge.

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.

intelligence is not one-dimensional,

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.

intelligence is relational: it matters how and where you do it, what form your body gives it, and with whom it connects.
