"AI systems not only beat us at the most complicated games, but can also write polished prose and win medals in maths. Tech CEOs promise us that superhuman AI is just round the corner."
"Intelligence isn't like height. There is only one way to be tall, but there are lots of ways to be smart. Just looking at other animals tells us as much."
"AI systems face none of these constraints. They can process more data than any human might see in a lifetime. They can expand their capacity by using more computers."
Recent advancements in AI have raised questions about human intelligence and its uniqueness. Unlike humans, AI can excel in complex tasks, process vast amounts of data, and share knowledge seamlessly. Intelligence is not a single scale; various species exhibit different forms of intelligence shaped by their environments. Humans, with their biological constraints, learn and operate within limited lifespans, while AI systems can continuously expand their capabilities and learn from extensive data, prompting a reevaluation of what it means to be intelligent.
