From Automatons to Artificial Intelligence:The Logic of Dispositif Theory and Its Reconstruction
Currently,the application of artificial intelligence technology is increasingly automating people's lives and work.Looking back in history,the development of modern technology aroused people's interest in automatons,and many thinkers used the paradigm of automatons to understand capi-talist countries and civil society.Since the 1950s,with the rise of cybernetic discourse and the promotion of automation in social life,European thinkers have centered on the concept of dispositif to reflect on and criticize the technological domination,governance techniques,and subjective conditions of modern socie-ty,while seizing the opportunities provided by the fluidity,creativity,and contingency of dispositifs to seek the possibility of breaking out of the iron cage of automated society.Currently,the application of artificial intelligence and other technologies has further intensified the automation of social life,forming a planetary-scale technological environment.Under this background,the contemporary transformation of dispositif theory is particularly important.We advocate promoting symbiosis between humans and machines through the concept of cosmotechnics,thereby avoiding the drawbacks of capitalist logic,con-structing resilient digital ecosystems,and ultimately driving the formation of an intelligent world of all things.
