The fifth-generation cellular networks (5G) have boosted the unprecedented convergence between the information world and physical world. On the other hand, empowered with the enormous amount of data and information, AI has been universally applied and pervasive AI is believed to be an integral part of 6G. Consequently, benefiting from the advancement in communication technology and AI, we boldly argue that the conditions for collective intelligence (CI) will be mature in the 6G era and CI will emerge among the widely connected beings and things. Afterward, we highlight the potential huge impact of CI on both communications and intelligence. In particular, we introduce a regular language (i.e., the information economy metalanguage) supporting the future collective communications to augment human intelligence and explain its potential applications in naming Internet information and pushing information centric networks forward. Meanwhile, we propose a stigmergy-based federated collective intelligence and demonstrate its achievement in a simulated scenario where the agents collectively work together to form a pattern through simple indirect communications. In a word, CI could advance both communications and intelligence.

促进交流与情报的集体优势

第五代蜂窝网络（5G）推动了信息世界与物理世界之间空前的融合。另一方面，在拥有大量数据和信息的情况下，人工智能已得到普遍应用，普遍的AI被认为是6G不可或缺的一部分。因此，得益于通信技术和AI的进步，我们大胆地争辩说，集体智慧（CI）的条件将在6G时代成熟，并且CI将在广泛存在的生物和事物之间出现。之后，我们强调了CI对通信和情报的潜在巨大影响。特别是，我们引入了一种常规语言（即，信息经济语言）支持未来的集体通信以增强人类智能并解释其在命名Internet信息和推动以信息为中心的网络方面的潜在应用。同时，我们提出了一种基于Stigmergy的联合集体情报，并在模拟情况下证明了其成就，在这种情况下，代理人通过简单的间接通信共同协作以形成一种模式。简而言之，CI可以促进沟通和智能。
