Exiting the Anthropocene:Artificial Intelligence as a Companion Species and Cross-Species Interaction
With the rapid development of intelligent technologies,intelligence agent,plants and animals,infrastructures and ecological environments have been endowed with unprecedented dialogic ability and mobility.The interaction between"cross-life"and"cross-species"has become an unavoidable topic in communication research.This paper introduces Haraway's theory of"companion species"and adopts the"species"perspective of"non-anthropomorphism"and"non-objectification"to examine AI,and analyse the complexity of human-AI interactions in terms of relational existence,ingestive symbiosis,and cultural and technological intertwining.As a new species,Al establishes a close companionship with humans in the process of dependence and mutual benefit,succession and mutation,compatibility and competition.This requires us to step out of the Anthropocene and establish a view of human-AI interactions that is heterogeneous joined,mutually constructive,and multi-species symbiotic,so as to welcome the upcoming new mode of interactions across species and lives.
