Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content in Intelligent Transportation Systems: Learning to Copy, Change, and Create! [Editor’s Column]

As artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and chip technologies surge forward, AI-generated content (AIGC) is changing incredibly with each passing day. From the perspective of cognition and learning, just as the human learning process goes from imitation to improvement and then to creation, AIGC is going through the process of moving from sensing and twinning the real world (learning to copy) to predicting and improving the real world (learning to change) and, finally, to evaluating and creating the digital world (learning to create).
