摘要:

人工智能的发展使算法发展到智能算法,而智能算法的发展,则不仅趋向人工智能的自主进化,而且使人类社会的演化越来越建立在智能算法的基础之上。算法的智能化正在营造一个智能算法环境:智能算法通过塑造社会环境使人类环境智能化。智能算法环境的发展使人类社会向智能社会演进,智能化环境构成智能生态,从而出现智能生态演化。智能生态演化将带来人和环境关系的逆转,人类进化从适应环境向智能环境适应人的方向转换。在自然条件下,人类进化是环境选择的结果;而在智能社会中,人类进化则是环境迎合的结果。人类社会和智能生态演化,将派生出一系列与人类进化相关的社会问题,其中亟待关注和警觉的,主要是信息茧房和人类生存的自我娇宠模式等。在算法社会发展过程中,智能社会环境条件下的人类进化将日益凸显为一个人类必须自我选择和设计的重大课题。人工智能算法的不断发展,智能生态演化以及人和智能社会环境之间关系的哥白尼式转换,不仅展示了人类更高层次进化的人机融合进化前景,而且意味着人类将进入真正意义上的进化。

Abstract:

The development of artificial intelligence makes algorithms develop into an intelligent stage, and the development of intelligent algorithms not only leads to the autonomous evolution of artificial intelligence, but also makes intelligent algorithms play a more and more essential role in the evolution of human society. The algorithm intelligentization is creating an environment of intelligent algorithms, that is, intelligent algorithms make human environment intelligent by shaping social environment. An environment of intelligent algorithms makes human society evolve into an intelligent society. An intelligent environment constitutes an intelligent ecology, and thus intelligent ecological evolution occurs. The evolution of intelligent ecology will bring about the reversal of the relationship between human beings and their environment: human evolution changes from human beings fitting to the environment to the intelligent environment fitting to human beings. Human evolution is the result of environmental selection under natural conditions; human evolution is, instead, the result of environmental adaptation in an intelligent society. The new evolution of human society and intelligence ecology will give rise to a series of social problems related to human evolution, among which the issues that require urgent attention and vigilance are information cocoons and the self-pampering mode of human existence. In the process of the development of algorithmic society, human evolution under the condition of intelligent social environment will increasingly become a major issue that human beings must self-select and self-design. The continuous development of artificial intelligence algorithms, the evolution of intelligent ecology and the Copernican transformation of the relationship between human beings and intelligent social environment not only show the prospect of human-machine fusion evolution at a higher level of human evolution, but also mean that human beings will enter evolution in the genuine sense.
