| Episode 4: Intelligence as a Political Construct | 15 juin 2026 | 00:58:24 | |
Intelligence has always been weaponized. What happens when AI enters that lineage? Intelligence as a history of exclusion — used to exclude women, justify slavery, and deny citizenship. AI is the first time we are facing an intelligence ostensibly "greater" than ours, as defined by our own societal values.

| Episode 3: Intelligence as a Social Construct | 01 juin 2026 | 00:54:04 | |
Who decides what counts as intelligent — and who gets rights because of it? The fraught history of defining human intelligence — and how we conflate intelligence with sentience.

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?
