![]() Cattell’s (1987) fluid and crystallized intelligence or Sternberg’s (1985) componential/analytic, experiential/creative/synthetic, and practical/contextual intelligence) or even has to be taken as a multiple phenomenon (e.g. Spearman’s (1904) general intelligence as psychometric construct or Eysenck’s (1994) global intelligence) or can be factorized into different forms (e.g. Intelligence theorists argue about the question whether intelligence has to be seen as a general concept (e.g. Rather, it reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings-"catching on", "making sense" of things, or "figuring out" what to do.’ It is not merely book learning, a narrow academic skill, or test-taking smarts. In 1994 52 mainstream intelligence theorists agreed on the next definition: ‘A very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. One definition of intelligence phrases it as a person’s capacity to acquire and apply knowledge, another defines it as the ability to act goal-directed, think rationally and cope effectively with the environment (Wechsler). The next sections provide sketches of the concepts intelligence, ambient intelligence, interaction, interactional intelligence and reflexible eventities. But in the long run interactional intelligence doesn’t exclude an evolution towards non-humans that show behavior which could be labeled reasonably well as intelligent interaction. Interactional intelligence encapsulates in the first developmental stage humans and smart tools as mutually constituting and developing each other in a dynamic stream of interactions. For these reasons I prefer another qualification of the intelligence to come: interactional intelligence. On the other hand it can’t be excluded that converging technologies (physical, biological and ICT) will result in species that in the long run will find their own way, possibly a way in which human-centrism is not an obvious element. This interdepence pictures the man-machines-relation and its resulting intelligent behavior already as an interactive concept. ![]() On the contrary it could be argued that really personalized, adapted and anticipating intelligence cannot but be developed dynamically, based on a firm interdepence of the intelligence of the ‘central human’ (the flexible user) and the intelligence of the interactive systems that surround the ‘central human’ (the adaptive technology). Qualifying the intelligence of the future technology as ‘ambient’ puts the unfolding intelligence for a great deal outside the humans it is supposed to be focussed on, which is of course not a bad thing for the companies that hope to make big money providing that technology (using the slogan PPP: People, Planet, Profit). The from these networks emerging ambient intelligence should serve human wellbeing by providing personalized information, communication, entertainment and care. Networks of smart tools will become personally and contextually sensitive, responsive, adaptive and anticipatory. ![]() In 2003 the Dutch multinational Philips published a book about ambient intelligence, providing a vision on and examples of future technology, which according to this vision will be embedded in the human environment, thanks to the small size of smart tools and their computational and communicative strength. I just like to explore some perspectives on the present and short-term foreseen co-evolution of humans and technology, looking for principles according to which humans and technology are supposed to interact. ![]() This text does not contain the outlines for that work. Which calls for another work, ‘On the Future of Species’. It seems that this combination has the potential to enhance evolution itself, changing and creating species and that with an explosive speed. This sketch is about the symbiotic evolution of humans and technology. So it’s irresistible to write a sketch in which evolutionary principles play a significant explanatory role.
