Dual Influence of Digital Technology on Power and Its Future Trend
In order to maintain the social order,no state or government will give up the control of society.The emergence of digital technology such as artificial intelligence brings about some change for power and its control.On the one hand,digital technology strengthens the control of power unprecedentedly in terms of such aspects as control object,control scope and control mode.On the other hand,it is also dissolving the power.Opening and sharing required by big data,artificial intelligence eliminates not only the traditional power structure but also the author-ity attached to power,which means the transfer of authority.This authority is largely that of knowledge.Hence the inference about the trend of power in the context of smart society:power will not disappear but will be reconstructed between violence,wealth and knowledge,and the weight of knowledge in the elements of power will be greatly increased.
