What do plants, fungi, babies, and generative A.I. models like Chat-GPT have in common? People argue that they have some form of intelligence, but what is intelligence and what does it mean to be intelligent? Over the semester you will learn about the intersection between intelligence research and white supremacy, as well as the surprising abilities of plants, fungi, and babies. By the end of the course, you will have developed a perspective on what intelligence can look like and be more aware of your own biases and assumptions when it comes to intelligence.
