Episode 1: AI, Intelligence & the Trouble with Benchmarks

What is intelligence — and why does our definition matter more than ever? What is intelligence, really? This opening episode traces the industrial origins of IQ tests, interrogates how AI benchmarks may be new tools for old hierarchies, and asks: if we're on the wrong path to AGI, what would the right one look like? Our host is Dr. Rumman Chowdhury, leading thinker and developer of safe, secure and responsible AI.
