The Characteristics,Causes and Development Trends of Labor in the Era of Digital Intelligence--Analysis based on Marxist Political Economy
The intelligent era represents the current epoch in world history,with digital labor as the prevailing form of hu-man labor.With the rapid development and extensive application of technologies such as the Internet of Things,big data,cloud computing,and especially artificial intelligence,digital,data,code,and traffic have become essential components of labor.The empowerment of digital labor materials presents the characteristic of labor tools being dematerialized,labor processes being de-humanized,and labor products being de-substantialized.Intelligent tools are the result of the progress of science and technology,the profit-seeking of capital,the development of labor and the requirement of labor liberation.Apart from the level of the capital-ist system,the development of science and technology,and the realization of intelligent tools make labor liberation possible.Viewing labor empowered by digital intelligence,it is not only a"man-made"creation but also requires a"for-human"orienta-tion.Therefore,in developing the digital economy,it is necessary to improve digital infrastructure,narrow the digital divide,and share digital technologies;uphold the people's stance,establish red lines for digital technology,and jointly build a digital system;avoid the monopoly of digital technology,build a digital public domain,and share digital achievements.Guiding the practice of digital labor in the intelligent era with innovative theories of labor in the new era is a significant task for China's modernization,determining the development of new productivity and the quality of economy development.
