元宇宙技术的雄心与隐忧评析

Analysis on the Ambition and Hidden Worries of Metaverse Technology

【目的/意义】元宇宙技术致力于营造一个与现实世界彼此平行、交互融合的虚拟世界,是互联网技术发展的高级形态,拥有广泛的应用前景,必将引发社会文化生活的重大变革,值得关注与探究。【设计/方法】通过对元宇宙技术科学维度的把握和对元宇宙综合集成创新模式的描述,分析元宇宙技术可带来的诸多隐患并提出其社会治理框架。【结论/发现】元宇宙技术将研发和综合集成VR、AR、XR、AI、游戏引擎、区块链、云计算等众多高新技术成果,快速迭代升级,进而催生和带动相关技性科学领域的快速发展,二者互动并进。但元宇宙建构也可能会产生大量外溢效应,诱发一系列严峻的社会文化问题,应当在未来学视野下加以分析、在社会综合治理的框架下加以引导和化解。

[Purpose/Significance] Metaverse technology is committed to creating a virtual world that is parallel to and integrated with the real world. It is an advanced form of Internet technology development, and has broad application prospects, which will inevitably lead to significant changes in social and cultural life. Therefore,it is worth paying attention and exploring. [Design/Methodology] By grasping the scientific dimension of metaverse technology and describing the comprehensive and integrated innovation model of metaverse, this paper analyzes many pitfalls that metaverse technology can bring and proposes its social governance framework.[Conclusions/Findings] Metaverse technology will develop and integrate many high-tech achievements such as VR,AR, XR, AI, game engine, blockchain, cloud computing, etc., which will rapidly iterate and upgrade, and then give rise to and drive the rapid development of related technical science fields, and the two will interact and advance.However, the metaverse construction may also produce a large number of spillover effects and induce a series of serious social and cultural problems, which should be analyzed under the perspective of futurology and guided and resolved under the framework of comprehensive social governance.
