人工智能时代的科学反思与灵魂拯救--评陈楸帆科幻小说集《人生算法》

Scientific Reflection and Soul Saving in the Age of Artificial Intelligence--Commenting on Chen Qiufan s Science Fiction Collection Life Algorithm

随着人工智能技术的持续性突破与日常化普及,社会各界对人工智能的关注热度不断提升。作为科幻作家的陈楸帆并非致力于人工智能发展前景及其威胁性的形象化演绎与隐喻性诠释,而是在人性正负两个层面探究人工智能影响下的人类到底应该何去何从。科幻小说集《人生算法》以奇幻诡谲的想象与缜密严谨的逻辑思辨与读者展开关于人工智能的多维对话。区别于人工智能专家将关注焦点放置在如何不断升级人工智能的数据算法使其最大限度地趋向于人,陈楸帆则更致力于在极端化场景与人文性关怀中追问人工智能的可能与限度。《人生算法》系列科幻创作不仅以形象化的方式演绎科学的未来图景和哲学的逻辑思辨,而且从文学独有的视域展开对人工智能的全方位考辨,借助文学语言的特有张力切入未来的可能与不可能、现实的真实与非真实,通过逻辑的必然展开与偶然断裂诠释生命的自由选择与终极追问,在时间空间化与空间时间化的多维呈现中重新定位人类的此岸与彼岸,最终在情感激活与理性重铸的呼唤中探索人类在科学异化面前的自我救赎之路。

With the continuous breakthrough and popularization of artificial intelligence technology,the attention of various sectors of society to artificial intelligence is constantly increasing.As a science fiction writer,Chen Qiufan is not dedicated to the visual interpretation and metaphorical interpretation of the development prospects and threats of artificial intelligence,but rather explores where humans should go under the influence of artificial intelligence from both positive and negative aspects of human nature.The science fiction collection Life Algorithm engages readers in a multidimensional dialogue about artificial intelligence through fantastic and mysterious imagination and rigorous logical reasoning.Unlike artificial intelligence experts who focus on how to continuously upgrade artificial intelligence s data algorithms to maximize its tendency towards humans,Chen Qiufan is more committed to questioning the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence in extreme scenarios and humanistic care.The serial science fiction creation of Life Algorithm not only deduces the future picture of science and the logical speculation of philosophy in a visual way,but also conducts a comprehensive examination of artificial intelligence from a unique literary perspective.With the help of special tension of literary language,the author cuts into the possibility and impossibility of the future and the truth and untruth of reality,interprets the free choice and ultimate questioning of life through the inevitable development and accidental rupture of logic,repositions this shore and other shore of human beings in the multi-dimensional presentation of spatialization of time and timely space,and finally explores the road of self-redemption facing the scientific alienation in the call of emotional activation and rational recast.
