This workshop, co-organised by the Berlin-based Science of Intelligence Cluster and Human Abilities – Centre for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, brings together philosophers and cognitive scientists to discuss the relationships between intelligence and abilities in humans, nonhuman animals, and artificial systems. Is intelligence best seen as an ability? How to understand cognitive abilities and skills to start with? How can we investigate abilities and intelligence philosophically and scientifically?

These and related questions will be tackled during this two-afternoon workshop. Each afternoon will comprise three talks, followed by a roundtable discussion with all the speakers. Confirmed speakers:

Ellen Fridland (London)

Romy Jaster (Berlin)

Dimitri Coelho Mollo (Berlin)

Carlotta Pavese (Cornell)

Martin Rolfs (Berlin)

Barbara Vetter (Berlin)
