Abstract: |
The extensive application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the realm of information dissemination has profoundly influenced the media ecosystem. While significantly augmenting the scale and efficiency of information circulation, AI has also posed formidable challenges to established norms and ethical systems, resulting in information disorder on a global scale. This essay discusses the cutting-edge AI technologies such as ChatGPT, and analyzes the causes of AI-generated information disorder based on the intricate interplay between technology, market and politics. Furthermore, this paper explores the far-reaching cultural crises that arise from AI-driven information disorder within the context of technological-cultural interactions. Drawing upon the techno-human relationships in the digital media ecology as a starting point, it stimulates critical reflection on the issues of human subjectivity and intersubjectivity. The paper argues that in the era of AI, a symbiotic relationship emerges in which technology and humans mutually shape and regulate each other, necessitating a reevaluation of human's historical positioning. In light of this, the paper advocates the recognition of "humanistic dimensions" as the fundamental epistemological core for comprehending the civilization of the AI era. |
