| Web And AI Convergence: Society Intelligence Through Web Intelligence |
| Institute for Informatics, Croatia |
| The information age is reality - new media and interactive media such as the World Wide Web are so engaging as to |
| almost be worthwhile just for their own sake. But the technology is only a tool, and is only as useful as the |
| information that it carries. Thus, any society must continually be aware of the need for content (information). A |
| hierarchy of information has been proposed, from bottom to top, as follows: data, information, knowledge, |
| intelligence, and wisdom. The societies already hold the national wisdom. The question is, can their wisdom be |
| translated into data and information in a way that preserves its es-sence, while allowing us to take advantage of the |
| modern technologies that are available to distribute and share this wisdom in the form of data, to make a real |
| difference in the future of humanity. The term Society Intelligence is here to cover information-communications |
| systems filled with overall knowledge and information networked in the unique web of smart artificial biosystems |
| based on information tech-nology capable of autonomously take off intelligent actions upon inside or outside |
| Keywords: information-communications systems, artificial intelligence, web intelligence, society intel-ligence |
