Punching Cards, the podcast about all things intelligent

What makes a person, a cat, a bonobo, a dolphin, an octopus, a cockatoo intelligent? What is it that these living organisms have or do, when we say that they are intelligent? And what about things, computer programmes, robots? Can they be intelligent?

Follow us through six episodes of interviews, special guests, quotes, big and small questions, trivia, and curiosities to explain intelligence.

This podcast was produced by Berlin Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence.
Ideas, content, and moderation by Dimitri Coelho Mollo, Aravind Battaje, Olga Shurygina, Nicolas Roth, Benjamin Lang, and Solveig Steinhardt. Production and editing by Solveig Steinhardt and Valeria Becattini.

On Anthropomorphism – Season 2, Episode 2

For this episode, we invited Katja Liebal, director of the LeipzigLab at the University of Leipzig, and Alex Kacelnik, head of the Behavioural Ecology Research Group at the University of Oxford, to join us in a conversation about strategies to deal with research biases linked to anthropomorphism (the tendency in science to ascribe human charateristcs to non-human entities) as well as comparative psychology and behavioural biology more broadly.
