文摘It is recognized throughout history that under-standing the properties of resources and transforming these resources into products are regarded as the nucleus of sci-ence and technology.Understanding the properties of in-formation and transforming the information into products will then play a crucial role in the development of science and technology in the information age.An attempt is thus made in this paper to present the results on the concepts of information and the fundamental features of information transforms.Here information theory will be given a much broader scope than the well-known Shannon theory and the knowledge theory will go beyond the existing knowledge engineering.It is discovered in the paper that the transfor-mations from information to knowledge and further to intel-ligence constitute the core mechanism of intelligence for-mation and is hence named the mechanism approach to in-telligence research.It is also discovered that the major ap-proaches to artificial intelligence in history,the structural-ism,functionalism and behaviorism,can harmoniously be unified within the framework of the mechanism approach and no longer be contradictory.
