What Is Intelligence? presents intelligence not simply as the ability to solve problems quickly or accumulate knowledge, but as one of the fundamental human capacities involved in learning, experience, judgment, creativity, adaptation, and the continuing development of life.
What is intelligence?
How does intelligence emerge and develop in the brain?
How do learning and experience change human intelligence?
How are human intelligence and artificial intelligence similar, and how are they different?
What kinds of intelligence will become increasingly important in the Age of AI?
And how can people continue learning, thinking, judging, and creating as humanity moves toward an era of longer and healthier lives?
Beginning with these questions, this book explores the nature of intelligence in clear and accessible language while examining its relationship with the human brain, learning, experience, memory, emotion, creativity, artificial intelligence, and healthy longevity.
Intelligence is more than the amount of knowledge a person possesses. Human beings learn through experience, connect the past with the present through memory, make judgments in unfamiliar situations, and choose among different possibilities. They can learn from failure, revise previous assumptions, and create entirely new approaches.
Artificial intelligence can process enormous amounts of information and solve certain problems at extraordinary speed. Yet human intelligence cannot be explained by computational ability alone. Human intelligence operates together with experience, emotion, memory, relationships, judgment, creativity, and the purposes people give to their lives.
This book brings together the brain, learning, experience, memory, emotion, creativity, artificial intelligence, judgment, cognitive health, and healthy longevity within a new philosophy of intelligence.
Through the vision of THE RUN AT 150 PROJECT, it asks how human beings might not only live longer, but also continue learning, remembering, thinking, judging, creating, and making independent choices throughout a longer and healthier life.
More than a book about IQ or intelligence testing, What Is Intelligence? is a forward-looking philosophy of intelligence for understanding what it means to be human in the Age of AI.
