New Alienation of Knowledge in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Its Critique of Political Economy
Artificial intelligence and a new round of information technology have triggered a wave of knowledge explosion,and the generation,processing,dissemination and consumption of knowledge will shape a new round of paradigm revolu-tion.The combining of knowledge,capital and technology has given rise to the phantom domination of intellectual capital,i.e.,knowledge has become the power to dominate,dominate and enslave people,and people are gradually moving towards the subversive process of instrumentalization and objectification,and are facing the reality of"subject-object alienation"between human beings and knowledge.It is mainly characterized by new alienation crises such as the overflow of knowledge to deconstruct individual thinking,homogenization of content to construct a"knowledge cocoon",fragmentation of dissemi-nation to dissolve systematic knowledge,and the exacerbation of knowledge anxiety by commercialization.To break through the new alienation of knowledge in the era of artificial intelligence,we need to base ourselves on the Marx's critique of po-litical economy,strive to grasp the historical initiative,adhere to the basic position of historical materialism to see through the illusion created by capital logic,reshape the value rationality lost in the new alienation of knowledge,and make knowl-edge better serve humanity's pursuit of freedom.
