后人类社会图景与人工智能

Post-human Social Landscapes and Artificial Intelligence

在以人工智能为代表的智能科技的冲击下,传统人本主义所秉持的人类本性稳定不可变异的观点被动摇了,“后人类”和“后人类社会”概念开始出现在各种技术文化思潮中。对于绝大多数后人类主义者而言,技术是引导人类走向后人类社会的关键所在。从人类与技术反身互动的角度出发,可划分出三种不同的后人类社会图景,即工业4.0社会、赛博格社会和技术奇点社会,不同后人类社会图景所依凭的人类中心主义、超人类主义和技术奇点论等技术文化思潮以及人工智能在其中发挥的作用诸问题,值得进一步探讨。

Under the impact of intelligent technology represented by AI,the belief that human nature is unshakably stable held by traditional humanism is shaken,with concepts such as“post-humans”and“post-human society”emerging in various intellectual trends of technology and culture.For most post-humanists,technology is the key to leading humans to a post-human society.From the perspective of reflective interaction between humans and technology,we can divide post-human society into three different landscapes,namely,Industry 4.0 society,Cyborg society and technology singularity society.Various intellectual trends of technology and culture such as human-centralism,super-humanism and the idea of technology singularity supporting different post-human social landscapes are worth further exploration.
