To digitize everything is a major trend in the digital age.Digital identity has become a new form of human existence outside the realm of the tangible world.Social governance in the digit-al age is confronted with more complex issues and this leads to the emergence of a new risk,a gen-eralized inhibition of each unit of the governing system triggered by the quest for precise control of a society.The digitization of governance brings with it a quest for the growth of quantifiable,com-parable data across the units of governance.In the meantime,with the help of digital technology,such control,which should have existed within sectional organizations,widely spreads to be a con-trolling force over the society.Under such control,the human being is molded by digital technology into the socially desirable"shape"and becomes a customized social"building block"and the society becomes a giant Lego-world.Three features characterize the Lego-world:false multidimensionality,social acceleration,and homogeneous mobility.To distance oneself from the Lego-world,one can-not simply suppress these three characteristics.Instead,it is necessary to explore the symbiotic re-lationship between human beings and artificial intelligence in a digital society from the primary norm of"the revealing nature of technology".By establishing a common institutional grammar that constrains both humans and artificial intelligence,we can break the enframing that positions hu-mans and ultimately avoid the Lego-world.
