The era of digital intelligence offers new opportunities for the development of social computing and social intelligence.Cross-disciplinary fusion shall be a critical approach for its deep development.This paper elaborates the connotation and denotation of social computing, discusses the paradigm shift of social computing research, and the general development of social computing and social intelligence.Next, it looks forward to the social computing and social intelligence in the era of digital intelligence, and proposes three pillars for constructinga social intelligence system based on the new infrastructure.The construction of such an intelligent system is mainly composed by three components, including the construction of large-scale high-velocity data intelligence, the integration of multi-scale flexible spatial intelligence, and the formation of complex adaptive social intelligence.There is a level progression from data intelligence to social intelligence, in which data, computing and society are entangled.As such, computing science, data science, spatial science, complex science and social science are requested to interact from both theoretical and methodological perspectives.With the rapid update of digital-intelligent technologies and their penetration into the whole social-economic system, social computing and social intelligence is bound to seek breakthrough and deep development in the interdisciplinary cross-integration.
