Beyond the Hype: AI's Collective Intelligence Dilemma
The claim that artificial intelligence will soon surpass human intelligence is flawed. AI lacks the social, embodied, and collective dimensions that define human intelligence. While AI excels in narrow tasks, it cannot replicate the diversity, cooperation, and cultural understanding foundational to human cognition.

Melbourne, Feb 6 (The Conversation) – The notion that artificial intelligence might soon surpass human intelligence has gained considerable traction. Yet, experts argue that such claims overlook the essential social, embodied, and collective nature of human intelligence.
While AI shows proficiency in narrow cognitive tasks like essay writing or disease diagnosis, it falls short of understanding the complex social interactions and cultural nuances integral to human thought. Human intelligence thrives on cooperation, shared experiences, and diverse cultural inputs – aspects AI lacks.
Despite AI's rapid advancement, it remains more a powerful tool than a mind. Concerns about data limitations, cultural bias, and ethical implications highlight the need for responsible AI integration into society. Experts urge a shift from inflated expectations to addressing real-world issues like bias and governance.
