Other Intelligences

The human brain was long considered to be the sole measure of intelligence, but this idea is becoming increasingly outmoded. Artificial intelligence is capable of gaining abilities that were previously ascribed to human beings alone. Moreover, other non-human forms of intelligence, like plants and animals, are drawing our curiosity. This book features projects by artists who devote themselves to two aspects of non-human intelligence: technological intelligence and the intelligence of the world’s ecosystem, the diversity of which is under threat. What forms of intelligence are relevant for shaping the future? And how can AI serve society and promote ecological community?
