摘要
目前,人工智能的发展呈现出两条日益清晰的路线。其一是离身沟通型AI(“延展的心灵”)。人类对媒介技术的应用经历了从模拟媒介、数字媒介、社交媒体到大语言模型人工智能,这是一个日益虚拟化/去物质化/离身化的过程。这一过程正引导我们脱离碳基身体,最终建构出一个与现实世界共存和交互的虚拟世界,即元宇宙(人、物和环境的数字孪生)。其二是具身沟通型AI(“心灵的延展”)。人工智能延展出硅基身体以与现实环境实时互动和不断学习。这最初体现为各种可穿戴式设备、智能音箱、自动驾驶、宠物机器人,直到基于文生动作(text-to-acts)的人形机器人。上述两跳发展路线呈双螺旋、相互促进的关系。由此,人类将同时面临“离身沟通型AI”和“具身沟通型AI”两类新的沟通主体,人机传播研究中的“具身AI转向”将继续深化。
Artificial intelligence has been called"the next new media."Like the major technological innovations that preceded it,it has a restructuring effect on people and society.At present,the development of artificial intelligence presents two increasingly clear routes:(1)disembodiment("the extended mind"):the application process of human media technologies,from analog media,digital media,social media to large language model artificial intelligence,is an increasingly virtualized/dematerialized/disembodied process.This process is leading us away from carbon-based bodies to a virtual world that coexists and interacts with the real world,the metaverse(a digital twin of people,things,and the environment).This trend is particularly reflected in the increase and improvement of AI technologies such as text-to-text,text-to-speech,text-to-picture,and text-to-video applications in the past two years.(2)Embodiment("the Mind Extended"):that is,the development of embodied artificial intelligence with a silicon-based body to to interact with the real environment in real time and continuously learn.This was initially manifested in various wearable devices,smart speakers,pet robots,and humanoid robots based on text-to-acts.The paper holds that these two development routes are in a double helix relationship that promotes each other.As a result,humans will face two new types of communication subjects,"communicative(disembodied)Al"and"communicative(embodied)robots".With this communication research will also face an"embodied Al turn"in theory,relationship,and ethics.Like the origins of communication studies as an academic disciplinary,today's human-computer communication research also requires a multidisciplinary perspective and approach.
