[Fis] Chuan's reply3 - THE FRONTIERS OF INTELLIGENCE SCIENCE--Zhao Chuan--- to Jerry Chandler 1

Dear Jerry LR Chandler, and All,

Your mail is the first one replay to this discussion: “the Frontiers of Intelligence Science”.   Thanks for your mail within 7 questions. That let this session really well run. Let me answer some of your questions:

1.        The structure of the book. It is in Chinese, I only translate the title of chapter: 

The Frontiers of Intelligence Science
——Something is Possible

Chapter 1  From Artificial Intelligence to Intelligence Science     

Chapter 2       International Intelligence Science Study and Cooperation  

Chapter 3       the Panorama of Intelligence and the Integrity of A-B Two Poles of Intelligence 

Chapter4        The Contribute of Intelligence Science to methodology 

Chapter 5       Natural Language Understanding as the Frontier of Intelligence Study   

Chapter 6       Phase Theory 

Chapter 7       New Golden Age of Civilization

2.        Yes, still very few people know Intelligence Science even in China, though it is put out in Oct., 2003 by CAAI. Above all it has grown more than ten years, it has formed frontiers, at least I have done theoretical study till then. 

Now is should seriously introduce the sponsor of this important direction. They are Prof. Zhong Yi Xin, Prof. He Hua Can, and Prof. Shi zhong zhi （Krassimir mentioned）etc. In a conference of CAAI 2003, the chair Prof. Zhong asked us from different sessions to a big meeting room to talk about the birth of Intelligence Science. He encouraged everyone to say out his/her feeling and opinion. I was delighted with such a new science and was encouraged to say that I am so earnest welcome such a new science and image its mission, I felt the new science is a holy approach, perhaps the real science is coming, as a young scholar I spoke ten minutes. Next I wrote an article title as “the Mission of Intelligence Science” next year. So thanks to the leader of CAAI leaded such an important change. We need strategist in science develop just as in war. Prof. Zhong is such a strategist. With their strong lead, we do many explorations. I think I am good soldier of SI. The growth rate is logically and with many reasons. So I said in my preface of the book: “From Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Intelligence Science (IS) is a strategic transformation, a major contribution to science.” yes, sometime contribution is actual fruit, sometime is a seed or a possibility; sometime is speed, sometime is direction, is an angular acceleration; some time is individual, sometime is collective. Prof. Zhong just in our FIS, and Pedro has special invited him stage this discussion the same. I think only he can tell us this/his history best! We should go on share the academic story together, though it is short but meaningful. It is interesting while this discussion we are in the same story now. 

       As a compare and evidence, let me cite a mail from Prof. L. A. Zadeh to BISC Group (Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing):

Dear members of the BISC Group: 

   Ruzena Bajcsy brought to my attention a very interesting interview with Noam Chomsky focused on "What went wrong with AI." It is always a treat to hear or read what Chomsky has to say.

    Regards to all,
    Lotfi 

       With my small group we used two months to learn this interview and think the present science, especial computer science and technology, development condition that we were surer with our direction and ways. This linker still useful and I have put it in our FIS once and written in my new book this time. If you read this interview with Chomsky viewing AI, you should know that Chinese CAII has avoided such questions early and gave a right direction and action. Honorific Prof. Zadeh of 91-years old that year, using one finger to hit keyboard （he once mentioned in a mail to BISC group）, he has organized a discuss “Information Revolution”. He and some BISCers worried about such revolution. It is just the same as our coming Vienna conference 2015—The Information Society at the Crossroads. 

       That is nice and peace, intelligence science has born and is growing. 

       It is a long mail now, more next mail. 

Best wishes, 

Zhao Chuan

Dear Zhao Chuan: 

In this brief introduction, you present your readers with a number of views.

Perhaps you could expand your statement so that we can grasp some of the structures behind you writings.

I have had numerous oriental colleagues from various parts of Asia - China, Taiwan, Japan, S. Korea, and other countries. 

When you speak of

 "Led by the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence ( CAAI), Intelligence Science was born in October, 2003. Since the first one created in Peking University, in just the last decade, 27 universities have set up a Department of Intelligence Science and Technology,"

 you present an impressive growth rate.  Does this include any academic institutions outside of China?

What are the sorts of classes in these departments?
Do they go beyond computer science and artificial intelligence?

What is the status of cybernetics in these departments.
(In the USA, only a few 'Systems Science /Cybernetics' departments remain.)

What are the principle jobs the students are being trained for?

Finally, I ask about your personal views on the issue of what is the basic idea that motivates your separation of individuals from different parts of the world.

Thank you for considering these simple questions.

Cheers

Jerry LR Chandler
