2026-2027 FRF Theme: Intelligences
For the 2026-2027 cycle, we are accepting applications that address the theme Intelligences. Since the arrival of ChatGPT, the world has erupted in debate over the possible impacts of artificial intelligence (AI). Bold claims about a new era of AI compete with dystopian prophecies about AI-accelerated unemployment and de-skilling. Questions about the putative value of AI rely substantively on claims about the quality and nature of machine intelligences and the threats to human intelligences. In short, the rhetorics of our current moment are overflowing with intelligences–machine, human, community, procedural, creative, insightful, algorithmic, insightful, and so on. In this context, the HI invites FRF proposals from faculty whose work will contribute to efforts to better understand the nature of the many intelligences, their contestation, and/or the role of intelligences in our current moment.
