人工智能:社会形态演进的一个工具

Artificial Intelligence: A Tool for the Evolution of Social Forms

人工智能的快速发展引起了整个人类社会生产和生活的巨大变动,同时也引发了人们对未来社会发展的担忧。人工智能作为人类劳动实践的对象化工具,彰显了赋予机器自主学习能力、替代人类部分简单重复脑力劳动和实现人机共融发展的新技术特点。人工智能在社会分工中对于生产力、交换和需求所产生的一系列变动预示未来迈向智能社会的趋势。人工智能与不同经济社会形态的结合会使未来的社会形态演变为两种可能,进而在两种不同的社会形态下对人类本身产生不同的影响。

The rapid development of artificial intelligence has caused tremendous changes in the production and life of the entire human society, and also triggered people’s concerns about future social development. As an object-oriented tool for human labor practice, artificial intelligence exhibits new technical characteristics that endow machines with autonomous learning capabilities, replace human’s simple and repeated mental labor, and realize integrative development between human and machine. It helps people predict the social trend towards an intelligent society based on the series of changes in productivity, exchange and demand in social division of labor in the future. The combination between artificial intelligence and different economic and social forms will accelerate the future social forms to evolve into two possibilities, and then have different impacts on human beings itself under the two different social forms.
