From the Internet of Information to the Internet of Intelligence
share
In the era of the Internet of information, we have gone through layering, cross-layer, and cross-system design paradigms. Recently, the “curse of modeling" and “curse of dimensionality" of the cross-system design paradigm have resulted in the popularity of using artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize the Internet of information. However, many significant research challenges remain to be addressed for the AI approach, including the lack of high-quality training data due to privacy and resources constraints in this data-driven approach. To address these challenges, we need to take a look at humans' cooperation in a larger time scale. To facilitate cooperation in modern history, we have built three major technologies: “grid of transportation", “grid of energy", and “the Internet of information". In this paper, we argue that the next cooperation paradigm could be the “Internet of intelligence (Intelligence-Net)", where intelligence can be easily obtained like energy and information, enabled by the recent advances in blockchain technology. We present some recent advances in these areas, and discuss some open issues and challenges that need to be addressed in the future.
