A Historical Materialist Review of AI Technology Reshaping People’s Labor

人工智能技术重塑人类劳动的历史唯物主义反思

AI is reshaping the labor of people and complicating the social and historical significance of labor. Therefore, in light of the new technological conditions and guided by Marxist perspectives on labor and machinery, it has become both a theoretical necessity for modernizing Marxism and a practical requirement for regulating technological development to re-evaluate the nature of labor and the transformative impact of technology on labor. Labor is not the formal application of laws and the physical manifestation of outcomes, but rather the process through which human subjects engage in the objectification of their own experiences and efforts. The replacement of human labor by technology reflects a perversion in labor dialectics and an expansion of capital's logic, the essence of which is the alienation caused by technology under the capitalist logic and the united dominance of both capital and technology. Consequently, it is necessary to make full use of the institutional advantage of socialism to foster the harmonious development of society and technology. We should also explore solutions to address technological alienation under the new context of The Times.

人工智能重塑了人类劳动形态，抽象化了劳动的社会历史意义。因此，在新的技术条件下，以马克思主义劳动观和机器观为指导，重新审视劳动的本质和技术对于劳动的变革，就成为马克思主义时代化的理论要求和规范技术发展的实践要求。劳动不是规律的形式运用和结果的物理实现，而是人的主体对象化的实践活动。现实劳动场域中的技术替代体现出劳动辩证法的颠倒和资本逻辑的泛滥，本质是资本逻辑下的技术异化和资本与技术的联合宰制。因此，必须要发挥社会主义的制度优势，促进制度文明和技术文明的协调发展，在新的时代条件下探索解决技术异化的途径。
