Abstract

Abstract 100 years ago, the editors of the Journal of Educational Psychology conducted one of the most famous studies of experts’ conceptions of human intelligence. This was reason enough to prompt the question where we stand today with making sense of “intelligence”. In this paper, we argue that we should overcome our anthropocentrism and appreciate the wonders of intelligence in nonhuman and nonbiological animals instead. For that reason, we study two cases of octopus intelligence and intelligence in machine learning systems to embrace the notion of intelligence as a non-unitary faculty with pluralistic forms. Furthermore, we derive lessons for advancing our human self-understanding.

对抗人类的傲慢:非人类动物和人工制品的智能

100年前，《教育心理学杂志》(Journal of Educational Psychology)的编辑们对专家们关于人类智力的概念进行了一项最著名的研究。这个理由足以引发这样一个问题:我们今天对“智力”的理解是什么?在本文中，我们认为我们应该克服我们的人类中心主义，而不是欣赏非人类和非生物动物的智能奇迹。出于这个原因，我们研究了机器学习系统中章鱼智能和智能的两个案例，以拥抱智能作为具有多元形式的非单一教员的概念。此外，我们还获得了提高人类自我理解的经验教训。
