The term is contested because “intelligence” can import cognitive assumptions not warranted by every experiment; precise claims should name the observed behavior and alternative mechanisms. ## Relationships - **ICE dialogue:** [[wiki/Monica Gagliano|Monica Gagliano]], [[wiki/Richard Powers|Richard Powers]], and [[wiki/Marcelo Gleiser|Marcelo Gleiser]]. - **conceptual bridge:** [[wiki/Diverse Intelligence|Diverse Intelligence]], embodied cognition, non-neural computation, and [[wiki/Artificial Intelligence|AI]]. - **evidence caution:** plant behavior does not by itself establish consciousness or humanlike intention. - **disambiguation route:** [[wiki/ICE|ICE disambiguation]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [ICE — Plant Intelligence](https://www.ice.dartmouth.edu/events/plant-intelligence)
