科技发展与人类生活

Technology Development and Human Life

人工智能的发展对人类具有积极意义。总体上,科技(包括人工智能)的发展,既是人类走向人性化的存在以及人的自由逐渐实现的过程中出现的必要环节,也是趋向于这一前景的前提或条件。人工智能以大数据作为依据。从逻辑上说,大数据意味着穷尽相关信息,在大数据的背景之下,我们至少在理论上可以尽可能地把握方方面面的情况,它为全面地把握对象提供了前提和条件,从而使我们可能克服各种片面的看法。人工智能的另一重要特点是高效的数据处理能力。对数据的这种高效处理,为我们应对多变的现象、及时作出准确的判断和应对提供了可能。人工智能发展的积极意义,体现于科学研究、人文探索、生产劳动、经济活动,以及日常生活中,其演进对于推进人类生活的进步、趋向合乎人性的社会都具有正面意义。当然,科技的发展既可以走向积极的方面,也可能伴随着某些消极的作用。如何抑制人工智能可能导致的消极作用,使之以正面、积极的方式发展,是我们无法回避的问题。这里涉及对科技(包括人工智能)发展的价值引导和约束的问题,而人是目的这一价值原则,则为这种引导提供了基本的前提。

The development of AI is of positive significance to human beings.In general,the development of science and technology,including AI,is both a necessary step in the gradual realization of humanity and human freedom,and a prerequisite or condition for approaching this prospect.AI is based on big data.Logically speaking,“big data”means exhausting relevant information.So,under the background of big data,we can grasp all possible aspects of the situation,at least in theory,which provides a premise or condition for a comprehensive grasp of the object,and consequently we may overcome various one-sided views.Another important feature of AI is the ability to process data efficiently,which makes it possible for us to respond to changing phenomena and make accurate judgments and responses in a timely manner.The positive significance of the development of AI is reflected in scientific research,the exploration of humanities,production labor,economic activities,and daily life,and its evolution has positive significance for promoting the progress of human life and tending to a society conforming to human nature.Of course,the development of science and technology can lead to both positive aspects and some negative effects.How to restrain the negative effects that AI may cause and make it develop in a positive way is an issue that we cannot avoid.This involves the issue of value guidance and constraints on the development of science and technology,including AI,and the value principle that man is the purpose provides the basic premise for such guidance.
