Introducing informationsociety into Slovenia

Members of both research groups have introduced several new R&D fields in Slovenia, from AI, intelligent systems, intelligent agents to recent intelligent services in information society.

In our vision, Slovenia has to move faster towards intelligent information society to foster efficient progress and better life.

Quest for intelligence

Strong AI hypothesis:intelligence will be achieved automatically.

(Moravec,Kurtzweil)

Our hypothesis: true intelligence is multiple, consisting of interacting Turing machines and an open environment.

(Wegner, Gams)
