阐释的偏差:科幻影视对于人工智能的误读及其社会影响

The Deviation of Hermeneutics: Misreading of AI in Science Fiction Films and Its Social Impact

科幻电影对于人工智能的形象刻画,具有明显的双刃剑效应。一方面,人工智能的确通过相关的科幻电影的广泛传播而获得了更为广泛的公众知名度,并因为这种传播学效应间接获得了在商业与行政方面的更多的支持;另一方面,在特定艺术规律与心理学规律指导下的人工智能形象刻画,也往往会对人工智能的技术实质作出错误的阐释。尽管从实际情况看,目前的人工智能既未必具有人形机器人的外观,也不具备主流科幻电影所赋予它们的那些能力,这些误解在电影之外的外溢效应已经扭曲了公众对于人工智能的认识,使公众形成对于人工智能的不必要的期望或不必要的恐慌。

Science fiction movies have obvious double-edged sword effect on the image depiction of artificial intelligence. On the one hand, AI has indeed gained wider public awareness through the wide dissemination of relevant science fiction films, and has indirectly received more support in business and administration because of this communication effect;On the other hand, the image depiction of AI under the guidance of specific artistic and psychological laws often makes a wrong interpretation of the technical essence of AI. Although from the actual situation, the current artificial intelligence may not have the appearance of humanoid robots, nor do it have the capabilities conferred by mainstream science fiction films, the spillover effect of the above misunderstanding outside the film has indeed distorted the public’s understanding of artificial intelligence, caused the public to form unnecessary expectations for artificial intelligence, or stimulated the public to have unnecessary panic about it.
