Abstract:

The issue of whether artificial intelligence (AI) can create value is of both theoretical and practical significance. The radically different views in the academic circle indicate that it calls for deeper understanding. As a product of human objectification activity that has developed to a particular stage, the general AI means that human objectification activity has advanced from the objectification of creative ability to the objectification of creativity itself. Only by understanding AI as the objectification of human creativity itself can we provide sufficient affirmative answers and corresponding arguments to its value creation, and systematically study the development of living labor involved, the material accumulation of labor and its development laws, the materialization of human creativity itself and other related important issues. The development of AI enables machines as objectified labor to operate at a higher level, highlighting and developing the objectification of living labor. Thus, the development of means of production clearly demonstrates as an intelligent process. It is the objectification of human creativity itself that shows the theoretical power of labor value theory and makes the study of AI value creation the forefront of labor value theory.

Key words: artificial intelligence, labor value theory, objectification of creativity, living labor
