从ChatGPT到Sora:生成式人工智能对知识生产的影响

From ChatGPT to Sora: The Impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Knowledge Production

摘要:

在新一轮科学技术革命的驱动下,以ChatGPT和Sora为代表的生成式人工智能正逐渐深度地介入人类知识生产活动。从历史性意义上的时代课题看,生成式人工智能革命性地建构了人类知识生产的新形态,改变了传统知识生产的主体建构,使生成式人工智能成为知识生产的重要动力源；丰富了知识生产的内容,促进了多学科知识的融合和跨学科知识的出现；提升了知识生产的效率,使“即时学习”成为现实。生成式人工智能的广泛应用也弱化了人类在知识生产中的主体地位、虚化了知识生产的内容、泛化了知识生产的限度等。面对生成式人工智能的快速发展给知识生产带来的严峻挑战,必须重构人机合作的知识生产主体布局、强化知识生产的全过程治理、重新审视知识生产的发展向度,秉持技术向善理念,合理而有效地使用这一新型的知识生产工具,为人类知识生产的健康和可持续的发展提供新的选择。

Abstract:

Driven by the new round of scientific and technological revolution, Generative Artificial Intelligence(GAI) represented by ChatGPT and Sora is gradually and deeply intervening in humankind knowledge production activities.From the viewpoint of the time subject in the sense of ephemeral, GAI has revolutionized the construction of the new form of humankind knowledge production, changed the subject construction of traditional knowledge production, and made GAI becomes an important power source of knowledge production; enriched the content of knowledge production, promoted the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge and the emergence of cross-disciplinary knowledge; improved the efficiency of knowledge production, and made "Just-In-Time Learning" become a reality.At the same time the wide application of GAI weakens the subjective position of human beings in the production of knowledge, deflates the content of knowledge production, leaving the limits of knowledge production unchecked and so on. In the face of the serious challenges to knowledge production brought about by the rapid development of GAI, it is necessary to reconfigure the layout of the main body of knowledge production in human-machine cooperation, strengthen the governance of the whole process of knowledge production, reexamine the development direction of knowledge production, uphold the concept of technological goodness, and make rational and effective use of this new type of knowledge production tool, so as to provide a new choice for the healthy and sustainable development of humankind knowledge production.
