人工智能科幻叙事的三种时间想象与当代社会焦虑

An Analysis of Three Time Views in Al Sci-Fi Narratives and the Concomitant Contemporary Social Anxiety

当代人工智能焦虑来自于对人工智能技术失控的恐惧,而这一失控的焦虑相当程度上来自于人工智能科幻叙事的潜在影响。科幻叙事树立了一个未来的影像,我们将技术发展与这未来影像相联结,产生了各种焦虑或乐观的版本。这一影响遍及整个社会叙事,引发脱离实际的焦虑或乐观情绪。这里区分科幻叙事中的三种时间想象:远景想象、中景想象和近景想象,指出不同时间想象的不同社会叙事功能,将技术发展与科幻叙事所赋予它的想象成分相剥离,以客观的方式看待人工智能,这样一来,人工智能的焦虑就会得到很大程度的平息。

Contemporary anxiety on AI comes from the fear of uncontrolled AI technology,which to a large extent comes from the potential impact of sci-fi narratives on AI.Sci-fi narratives set up future images,which,when linked with the technological development,will produce different versions of anxiety or optimism.The effect is felt throughout the social narrative,causing unrealistic anxiety or optimism.Based on the above this paper distinguishes three time views of sci-fi narratives in terms of long,middle and near ranges,and points out the different social narratives with different time views.This paper concludes that AI should be treated objectively with technology development separated from the imaginary elements activated by sci-fi narratives so as to alleviate the anxiety on AI.
