Abstract:

The development of artificial intelligence makes algorithms develop into an intelligent stage, and the development of intelligent algorithms not only leads to the autonomous evolution of artificial intelligence, but also makes intelligent algorithms play a more and more essential role in the evolution of human society. The algorithm intelligentization is creating an environment of intelligent algorithms, that is, intelligent algorithms make human environment intelligent by shaping social environment. An environment of intelligent algorithms makes human society evolve into an intelligent society. An intelligent environment constitutes an intelligent ecology, and thus intelligent ecological evolution occurs. The evolution of intelligent ecology will bring about the reversal of the relationship between human beings and their environment: human evolution changes from human beings fitting to the environment to the intelligent environment fitting to human beings. Human evolution is the result of environmental selection under natural conditions; human evolution is, instead, the result of environmental adaptation in an intelligent society. The new evolution of human society and intelligence ecology will give rise to a series of social problems related to human evolution, among which the issues that require urgent attention and vigilance are information cocoons and the self-pampering mode of human existence. In the process of the development of algorithmic society, human evolution under the condition of intelligent social environment will increasingly become a major issue that human beings must self-select and self-design. The continuous development of artificial intelligence algorithms, the evolution of intelligent ecology and the Copernican transformation of the relationship between human beings and intelligent social environment not only show the prospect of human-machine fusion evolution at a higher level of human evolution, but also mean that human beings will enter evolution in the genuine sense.

Key words: intelligent algorithm, intelligent society, artificial intelligence, big data
