<P>Dear FISers,</P>
<P>You will remember in those ancient times of travels and hotels (so distant
now!) the request in the front desk for a wake up call... we should be on time
for the presentations or for the shuttle to the airport. <BR></P>
<P>In these strange times of ours, of unrelenting isolation, every month our
stamina reserves are little by little depleted, at least for those not directly
involved in the duties of academic life or institutional research. How a wake up
call might be arranged for those of us at the brisk of depression?</P>
<P>In June 15th is the deadline for participating in the IS4SI 2021 conference.
See <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext
href="https://summit-2021.is4si.org/">https://summit-2021.is4si.org/</A></P>
<P><U>I think we should massively participate.</U> Let us post our tentative
abstracts in the list, as Howard did, and let us have preliminary discussions.
<BR></P>
<P>Personally, I will send an abstract to one of the sessions (still undecided
which one could be fitting) about</P>
<P>THE PARADIGM OF NATURAL INTELLIGENCE</P>
<P>It will be argued that intelligence is a universal phenomenon present in all
forms of life. It requires a new form of relationship with the environment,
implying not only openness to energy flows but to information flows as well.
External information processing, coupled with internal information processing,
may produce an adaptive life cycle that manifests (natural) intelligence,
produces meaning, and realizes fitness value. Out from the basic prokaryotic
conformation, the unit of natural intelligence, it may develop hierarchically,
via multicellularity, and particularly with the evolution of nervous systems.
Then, natural intelligence fully develops up to the point, in the human case, of
exhibiting pieces of artificial intelligence that mimic some of the basic
properties of the former. It will be finally argued that without a proper
understanding of natural intelligence, the scientific foundations of artificial
intelligence will be shaky--notwithstanding the technological grandeur it is
effectively achieving. But unbridled, half-understood technologies are not a
panacea for societies. Often the opposite.</P>
<P>Best regards to all!</P>
