A project by Templeton World Charity Foundation promoting a forward-looking and wide-ranging
research on the different notions of intelligence.
(Project director) Full Professor of Philosophy of Science and Human Development at the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome (Italy). Her current work focuses on complex adaptive dynamics in living systems, and on a new epistemic understanding of human–AI interactions.

Diverse Intelligences: Building A Topology Of Different Notions Of Intelligence is a joint venture between the Expanded Reason Institute of the University Francisco de Vitoria and the Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, which through funding by the Templeton World Charity Foundation are working together to bring scholars from across multiple disciplines to inquire about the nature of intelligence in its various manifestations in the universe.
Through a one-day conference we will examine the general division of intelligence into biological, human and artificial, in a way that emphasizes its tripartition into generic research fields, such as biology/patterns of behaviors, psychology/philosophy, and AI, respectively.
The end goal of the conference is to set the frame for a “topology” of intelligences through which relationships among the various types of intelligences can be elucidated, and which can serve as an intellectual tool for present and future research on the nature and connections among diverse intelligences.
