智能时代的数字—生命政治

Digital Biopolitics in Age of Intelligence

福柯在1976年的法兰西学院的讲座中,提出了生命权力和生命政治的概念,并将之与规训机制对应起来。不过在随后一年,福柯提出了在规训机制之外还存在着一种不以规训化的个体为基础的安全机制。这种新的治理技术在福柯的时代并未完全展开,在今天的智能时代,数字化技术的发展,为福柯提出的安全机制提供了新的形态。这种新形态就是数字—生命政治,数字—生命政治以数据收集和智能分析等算法治理为基础,能够对诸多个体进行精准治理,而不再需求个体按照统一的规范来行事。这种“放任”的治理,并没有带来无序,而是在一个看不见的庞大数据网络下,有效地控制了多样性个体的行为和思想。

In 1976,Foucault described the concepts of bio-power and biopolitics in his lectures held in France College,which is against the concept of discipline.The next year,he argued that there is a system of security beyond discipline,which is not based on the disciplined individuals,and the system is new formation of biopolitics.However,the new system didn’t show its complete formation in Foucault’s era.In current intelligence age,with the development of digital technology,it can afford a realized formation for Foucault’s description.The new formation is digital biopolitics,which is based on the algorithmic governance of data mining and refining,and can exactly manage every individuals,with no need of the individual in a unified norm.This governance effectively controls the diverse action and thought of individuals under the data-internet.
