The emerging intelligence technologies represented by deep learning have broadened their applications to various fields. Beyond the conventional electronics-based processing systems, the convergence of photonics and artificial intelligence (AI) technology enhances the performance and learning ability of AI. In this review, we propose the concept of an intelligent photonic system (IPS), illustrating it as a developing architecture with three different versions. For each version of IPS, we review several representative studies. Moreover we discuss the challenges towards an IPS and provide some prospects for the future development.
