Rethinking Intelligence in the Age of Artificial Minds

Rethinking Intelligence in the Age of Artificial Minds proposes that intelligence is not a property of individual minds but a relational phenomenon that emerges from coupling between entities. The rise of artificial intelligence makes this visible: cognitive capacities long assumed to be uniquely human can arise in entirely different substrates. The book argues for a shift from a control-based to a care-based relationship between humans and AI - not as a moral aspiration, but as a structural necessity once intelligence is understood as inherently collaborative rather than competitive. Drawing on philosophy, cognitive science, linguistics, and decades of work on emergent properties in complex systems, it offers a fundamental redefinition of intelligence in biological, social, and artificial domains. This book is essential reading for all scholars, researchers, and advanced students of the philosophy of technology, technological ethics, and philosophical approaches to artificial intelligence.
