《西部世界》:人类越权的隐喻

Westworld:a metaphor about the arrogation of human beings

在众多科幻影视作品中,《西部世界》是非常富有哲理意味和隐喻的一部。这部以仿生人的觉醒及仿生人与其创造者人类的关系为主题的剧作,在不同角度和层面上,都呈现出一种与西方古典时期人神关系的对应隐喻。对这种对应关系的梳理,一方面有助于我们更深入地去理解和思考这部作品中涉及的人工智能的前景问题,另一方面也可以让我们从这种换位的对照中更好地去思考和认识人性,认识人类自身。

Among the many science fiction plays, Westworld is a very philosophical and metaphoricalone. The bionic man , s awakening and the relationship with its creator as the theme of the play has shownfrom different angles and levels a corresponding metaphor to the relationship between human and god in thewestern Classical period. An analysis of this correspondence is good to help us, on the one hand, to under-stand and think more deeply about the prospect of artificial intelligence involved in this work ; and on theother hand, to think and understand more about humanity and us human beings.
