设计与理性:人工智能设计的美学反思

Design and Rationality:Aesthetic Reflections on Artificial Intelligence Design

本文首先梳理了人工智能设计发展的历程并试图对其进行定义与分析:人工智能设计主要指的是人工智能程序自动或者半自动地生成艺术设计类产品的过程。其次,本文从美学角度对人工智能设计进行如下反思:一是探讨人工智能时代的新的人机关系,是对抗还是重生,并指出了人工智能对设计主体性的挑战和改变;二是延续本雅明与阿多诺对机械复制时代的争论,认为人工智能设计是智能文化工业的体现,并深入探讨人工智能设计中自由与限制、确定性与偶然性的冲突;三是提出“设计理性”概念,并认为其是对工具理性的反思与超越。人工智能设计的美学反思需要我们对人机关系进行重新解读,机器是对人的辅助而非取代,我们应避免人工智能对创意领域的过度渗透,实现可控情况下人机的和谐共生。

This article first sorts out the development process of artificial Intelligent design and attempts to define and analyze it:AI design mainly refers to the process of automatic or semi-automatic generation of artistic design products by AI programs.Secondly,this article makes the following reflections on AI design from the aesthetic perspective.1)It discusses the new human-machine relationship in the era of artificial intelligence,namely,confrontation or rebirth,and points out the challenges and changes of artificial intelligence to design subjectivity.2)Continuing the debate between Benjamin and Adorno on the era of mechanical reproduction,it mentions that AI design is the embodiment of intelligent cultural industry,and deeply discusses the conflict between freedom and restriction,certainty and contingency in AI design.3)It puts forward the concept of“design rationality”,thinking that it is the reflection and transcendence of instrumental rationality.The aesthetic reflection on AI design requires us to reinterpret the human-machine relationship.Machines are not substitutes for people,but rather aids to people.We should avoid the excessive penetration of artificial intelligence into the creative field,and realize the harmonious coexistence of human and machine under control.
