Where is the asymmetry between intelligence and consciousness?

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The target article draws a sharp contrast between intelligence and consciousness. We believe this contrast is premature and rests on an overly narrow characterisation of intelligence as abilities that can be exhaustively characterised as mappings from sensory inputs to behavioural outputs. Instead, we argue that the fortunes of intelligence and consciousness are interwoven more tightly than Seth's framing implies.
