Intelligence?

Exploration of "Intelligence" from five perspectives

The "Intelligence?" working group is focused on clarifying what is called "intelligence" in American society today.  This discourse is more about exploring concepts and counterpoints than making statements about what intelligence is.  Five perspectives and aspects of intelligence will be explored in some detail:

1) what does intelligence mean from the neurosciences and cognitive sciences?

 

2) what does the intelligence community consider to be intelligence?

 

3) what does the artificial intelligence community consider to be intelligence?

 

4) What does the American legal system consider to be intelligence and evidence emerging from "intelligence?"

 

5) What does the American political system consider to be "intelligence?"

China and Russia pose the biggest risks to the United States, and are more aligned than they have been in decades as they target the 2020 presidential election and American institutions to expand their global reach, U.S. intelligence officials told senators on Tuesday.

The spy chiefs broke with President Donald Trump in their assessments of the threats posed by North Korea, Iran and Syria. But they outlined a clear and imminent danger from China, whose practices in trade and technology anger the U.S. president.

There’s an apparent paradox in modern life: Society as a whole is getting smarter, yet we aren’t any closer to figuring out how to all get along. “How is it possible that we have just as many, if not more, conflicts as before?” asks social psychologist Igor Grossmann.

The answer is that raw intelligence doesn’t reduce conflict, Grossmann asserts. Wisdom does. Such wisdom—in effect, the ability to take the perspectives of others into account and aim for compromise—comes much more naturally to those who grow up poor or working class, he says.
