    <description><![CDATA[<p><strong> A series of dialogues beyond the disciplines.</strong></p><p>Intelligence has long been regarded as a central and unique characteristic of humans, and yet ‘intelligence’ has always been a problematic term. Since it came into (pseudo-) scientific use towards the end of the 19th century, it has not been possible to define the term clearly. Nevertheless, or perhaps precisely because of this, its use is currently expanding rapidly. Towards machines in the form of artificial intelligence, and a growing number of non-human organisms whose higher cognitive functions are being analysed.</p><p>The question of intelligence is not only of interest within various scientific disciplines, but far beyond them. It directly or indirectly concerns the relationship of humans to the world and their position in it. The change in the concept of intelligence accompanies and reflects the constant change in the self-perception of different societies. This means that our understanding of intelligence is inevitably culturally characterised and has political consequences.</p><p>In this series, we talk to biologists, artists, psychologists, technologists, historians and more to understand their particular perspectives.  -&gt; <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://technopolitics.info/">https://technopolitics.info/</a></p><p></p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://rss.com/podcasts/technopolitics/voicemail" target="_blank">Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.</a></p><p>Data colonialism names the latest wave of measuring, datafying and quantifying society. Like territorial imperialism, it has an economic core: everything becomes a resource, above all data about our behaviour, from which a few extract enormous profits. With AI, these "weapons of math destruction" now target thinking itself, including creative production, composition and authorship. <strong>Anna Echterhölter</strong> shows that the history of data leads straight to the colonies: the first centres of calculation served early modern empires, and the first traces of today's AI appear in Cold War intelligence services rather than in sociology seminars. Data colonialism also overwrites whole types of knowledge, since anything that cannot be quantified or was never documented is lost, and colonial epistemicides multiply. The conversation then turns to alternatives: decolonial uses of data, Indigenous Data Sovereignty, the Environmental Data Justice Lab and data feminism. <strong>Anna Echterhölter</strong> is Professor of History of Science at the University of Vienna, co-editor of Science in Context, and researches the history of quantification, epistemic decolonisation and the sciences of German colonialism in Oceania.</p><p><strong>Undisciplined Intelligence</strong> is a podcast series produced by the Technopolitics working group that engages with guests from different disciplines to discuss how the notion of intelligence has changed in the age of AI. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.technopolitics.info/podcast/">https://www.technopolitics.info/podcast/</a></p><p><strong>Credits</strong> </p><p>Intro &amp; Mastering: Volkmar Klien / Editing &amp; Sound Production: Thomas Thaler / Graphic &amp; Webdesign: Sylvia Eckermann / Host: Emma Dowling / Guest: Anna Echterhölter Funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://rss.com/podcasts/technopolitics/voicemail" target="_blank">Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.</a></p><p>Betrachtet man generative KI von ihrer technischen Seite, zeigt sich Interessanteres als die Science Fiction der Futurologinnen<em> und </em>Mahnerinnen. Wie jedes Programm beruht sie auf einem stark idealisierten Problem: Bei Chatbots ist das die Erzeugung von Zeichenketten, die Nutzer*innen als sinnvoll deuten, ermöglicht durch Rechenleistung, Stromverbrauch, riesige Datenmengen und Statistik. Sprache wird dabei zum Korpus aller dokumentierten Äußerungen verkürzt. Möglich ist das nur, weil bürokratische Verwaltung die Daten längst aufbereitet hat. KI löst ein menschengemachtes, karikaturhaftes Problem. Dem setzt <strong>Thomas Raab</strong> ein psychologisches Verständnis von Intelligenz entgegen: nicht als Problemlösung, sondern als kreatives Suchen und Finden von Problemen, gestützt auf Erinnerung, Denken, Phantasie und eine sozial eingebettete Lebensgeschichte. <strong>Thomas Raab </strong>ist Schriftsteller und Kognitionsforscher; seine Essays zum Thema sind 2025 unter dem Titel „Intelligenz &amp; Phantasie“ im Parodos Verlag erschienen.</p><p><strong>Undisciplined Intelligence</strong> ist eine Podcastreihe der Arbeitsgruppe Technopolitics, in der Gäste aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen diskutieren, wie sich der Begriff der Intelligenz im Zeitalter der KI verändert hat. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.technopolitics.info/podcast/">https://www.technopolitics.info/podcast/</a> </p><p><strong>Credits</strong> </p><p>Intro &amp; Mastering: Volkmar Klien / Editing &amp; Sound Production: Thomas Thaler / Graphic &amp; Webdesign: Sylvia Eckermann / Host: Emma Dowling / Guest: Thomas Raab / gefördert vom Bundesministerium für Wohnen, Kunst, Kultur, Medien und Sport</p>]]></description>
