As spaces increasingly come to be described as “smart,” “sentient,” or “thinking,” scholars remain in disagreement as to the nature of intelligence, knowledge, or the “human mind.” This article opens the notion of intelligence to contestation, examining differing conceptions of intelligence and what they might mean for how geographers approach the theorization of “smart” spaces. Engaging debates on the distinction between cognition and consciousness, we argue for a view of intelligence as multiple, partial, and situated in and in-between spaces, bodies, objects, and technologies. This article calls on geographers to be attentive to the multiple forms of intelligence made possible by innovations in information processing and to the ways in which particular intelligences are prioritized—as others might be neglected or suppressed—through the production of smart spaces in the context of our rapidly changing understandings of the “humanness” of intelligence. Key Words: cognition, consciousness, digital technology, intelligence, space.

随着人们越来越多地将空间描述为“智能”，“有知觉”或“思维”，学者们在智力，知识或“人的思维”的本质上仍然存在分歧。本文将智力的概念引入竞争，研究了智力的不同概念，以及它们对于地理学家如何处理“智能”空间的理论化可能意味着什么。在关于认知和意识之间的区别的辩论中，我们主张将智能视为多元，部分且位于空间，身体，物体和技术之间的中间。本文呼吁地理学家注意多重因素在我们对智能“人性”的理解迅速变化的背景下，通过智能空间的产生，信息处理方面的创新以及特定智能被优先考虑（可能会忽略或压制其他智能）的方式使智能形式成为可能。关键词：认知，意识，数字技术，智力，空间。
