Old Verse, New Idea: Why Artificial Is Real
Fei–Yue Wang · IEEE Intelligent Systems · 2010
Welcome to our AI Space Odyssey! Of course, this issue is not an adventurous voyage in physical space, but rather a great intellectual quest: a discovery of AI in Space. Also, a reinterpretation of an ancient Chinese verse by Zhang Zai reveals a new idea in forming a computational theory to conduct the modeling, analysis, control, and management of complex systems in a quantitative fashion. It seems that artificial is real and vice versa, at least in complex systems. Future issues may discuss AI in cyberspace, where real human intelligence is alien, while AI the native intelligence.
