The Dilemma of Automation:Al,Digital Media Ecosystem,and"Post-human"Future
With the rise of the artificial intelligence technology,the global digital media ecosystem has shown an distinct posthuman condition and established an automated cultural generic,exerting effects such as the alienation of time,the separation of authenticity and trust,and the computability of meaning.Its basic evolutionary trend is to gradually replace human judgement with the machine logic as the basic epistemology that will dominate future information civilization,thus putting the overall human media experience into an existential crisis.At the same time,right within the digital media ecosystem,many actors are taking the approach to transforming the traditional media professionalism as means to reaffirm the humanistic definition of communication processes,authenticity standards,and cultural meaning by invoking engaged communication concepts and activisms in order to repair the increasingly dehumanized media experience.The ideal future information civilization should repeatedly re-affirm the epistemological status of human beings as users of technology,reserve sufficient space for engaged communication mechanisms,and strive to promote consensus between media schol-ars and practitioners in the construction of AI-related norms and ethics.
