    Episode 4: Intelligence as a Political Construct

    Intelligence has always been weaponized. What happens when AI enters that lineage? Intelligence as a history of exclusion — used to exclude women, justify slavery, and deny citizenship. AI is the first time we are facing an intelligence ostensibly "greater" than ours, as defined by our own societal values.

    Episode 3: Intelligence as a Social Construct

    Who decides what counts as intelligent — and who gets rights because of it? The fraught history of defining human intelligence — and how we conflate intelligence with sentience. Edge cases: end-of-life care, infant cognition, fitness for trial. Intelligence matters because it ascribes rights.

    Episode 2: Rethinking Intelligence Through Animals, Swarms & Sentience

    From chimps to ant colonies: what non-human intelligence tells us about AI. How have other fields studied intelligence in non-humans — from chimps to lobsters to ant colonies? And what does swarm intelligence tell us about AI's scaling ambitions? This episode blurs the boundary between intelligence and sentience.

    Episode 1: AI, Intelligence & the Trouble with Benchmarks

    What is intelligence — and why does our definition matter more than ever? What is intelligence, really? This opening episode traces the industrial origins of IQ tests, interrogates how AI benchmarks may be new tools for old hierarchies, and asks: if we're on the wrong path to AGI, what would the right one look like?
