Who Decides What Intelligence Is?
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
The Turing Test has shaped how the field of AI defines machine intelligence for over seventy years. But the test was not designed in a vacuum — it reflects specific assumptions about what intelligence is, where it comes from, and who gets to say. This episode examines a critical argument from AI and Society: that dominant conceptions of intelligence in AI research are not universal but culturally specific, rooted in the Global North, and historically continuous with the discriminatory logic of IQ testing.
From the language restrictions embedded in the Turing Test's original design to the casting problem that determines whose judgment counts, the paper traces how a narrow standard of intelligence gets encoded into systems that affect everyone — while remaining accountable to almost no one.
