We are particularly interested in projects that engage broad public audiences on foundational questions about the nature, purpose, and future of intelligence, including the diversity of intelligence across biological and artificial systems, what makes human intelligence distinctive, how intelligence functions collectively, and how we might design a future of flourishing amid rapidly advancing technologies.
