论当代人工智能危机与虚无主义困境的关系——基于江怡《人工智能与人的原初性问题》的思考

The Relationship between Contemporary AI Crisis and the Nihilism Dilemma——Thinking Based on“AI and The Original Problem of Human Beings”of Jiang Yi

当今时代,人工智能与生物工程的飞速发展,不但使人与机器的界限逐渐消解,而且给人类的生存与尊严带来了挑战。机器最终会不会取代甚至毁灭人类,看似在于机器是否可以拥有“自我意识”,但关键在于人是否能认识到物质扩张的虚无主义困境。人类想要成为“上帝”,这不但导致了机器对人类的潜在威胁,亦使得人类的精神无处安放。当人们的内心被恐惧、虚无与荒谬所占据时,甚至会走向自杀。所以,我们急需厘清人工智能危机背后的虚无主义实质,并以此做出哲学反思。

In the current era,the rapid development of artificial intelligence and biological engineering not only gradually makes the boundary between man and machine blurry,but also brings challenges to human survival and dignity.Whether machines will eventually replace or even destroy humans seems to lie in whether machines can have“self-awareness”,but the key lies in whether people can recognize the nihilistic dilemma of material expansion.Human beings want to be“Gods”,which not only leads to the potential threat of machines to human beings,but also makes human spirits nowhere to rest.When people’s hearts are occupied by fear,nothingness and absurdity,they will even commit suicide.Therefore,we urgently need to clarify the essence of nihilism behind the crisis of artificial intelligence and eventually make philosophical reflections.
