The Leap from Artificial Science to Intelligence Science

Abstract

Intelligence science (IS) was founded by the CAAI (Chinese Association for Artificial nIntelligence) in 2003. From numerous and complicated artificial intelligence theorem and technologies out a new, abstract science developed to define the deep concepts and create the foundational theorems on intelligence. It is an important contribution to science itself. IS is a natural and effective advance from AI and many other fields. This paper explains such necessity and significance. The CAAI and IS4IS-CC (International Society for Information Studies-China Chapter) has staged four Intelligence International Conferences on Intelligence (ICIS). The first ICIS was staged at Chengdu University of Technology. This conference series attempted to develop the foundations of IS. Currently, there are 194 universities in China have intelligence science and technology departments or offer related courses. This paper discusses the four ICIS and the education of IS. The four ICIS conferences are ICIS2016, ICIS2017, ICIS2018, and ICIS2020. Through this series of conferences, theoretical studies were collected, and the discipline kernel of IS was founded. We introduce some of these basic original theorems, including the author’s phase theorem. The fifth conference is set to be held in Xi-an, and the main topic is “Information Science and Intelligence science”. These approaches should be the prelude to future studies in intelligence science that should create a golden age for human beings.
