General Theory Of Intelligence

The book General Theory of Intelligence aims to establish a universal theoretical framework for artificial intelligence through the "information science paradigm." Authors Yixin Zhong and Guangyuan Xu contend that existing artificial intelligence research remains confined to the fragmented approaches of structuralism, functionalism, and behaviourism, overlooking the subjective agency inherent in the "subject-object" interaction process.This book pioneers a global model grounded in the methodology of information ecology (PID), conceptualizing intelligence generation as the information transformation and intelligent creation principle: "object information ? perceived information ? knowledge ? intelligent strategy ? intelligent behaviour." Its scope encompasses the philosophical foundations of AI theory, paradigm shifts, mechanisms for generating general intelligence, mechanism-based research approaches, laws of information transformation, and intelligent social systems (e.g., the "Luo Shen Project"). The ultimate goal is to establish a Unified Theory of Intelligence (GTI) that bridges the common generative mechanisms between artificial and human natural intelligence.In short, this book aims to reveal the generative mechanisms of universal intelligence through the "Law of Information Transformation and Intelligent Creation," providing a unified theoretical foundation and societal application direction for artificial intelligence research.
