What counts as intelligence?
Distinguish useful performance from understanding and experience.
LE SALON NOIR · PHILOSOPHY & AI
What do we mean when we say that a machine thinks? This original essay offers a thoughtful way into that question. It connects the philosophical debate to everyday choices, without presenting model performance as proof of consciousness.
Distinguish useful performance from understanding and experience.
Examine the role of language, culture and interpretation.
Question responsibility, trust and the place of human judgement.

THINK & QUESTION
Intelligence, consciousness and meaning: an accessible philosophical inquiry that keeps human judgement at its centre.
