摘要: 技术突破正以前所未有的速度重塑人类文明的根基。无论奇点是否真的已经降临、其效果能否达至对人类的根本威胁,这些技术突破与叙事变迁都在很大程度上共同构成了一场深刻的历史意识危机。为了给人类应对技术挑战和思想冲击提供意义框架与方向指引,以“奇点时刻”与“普罗米修斯维度”为分析工具,能帮助历史学家系统剖析人工智能对人类文明的不可逆改变,揭示技术突破如何将人类置于创造与毁灭的双重可能之中,并通过共同历史叙事重构人类的意义世界。由此或能实现从“智能稀缺时代”到“智能丰裕时代”的文明跃迁,最终服务于人类命运共同体的建设,在技术时代的浪潮中守护并重塑人类的意义世界。

Abstract: Technological breakthroughs are reshaping the foundations of human civilization at an unprecedented pace. Whether or not the singularity has truly arrived and whether its effects could pose a fundamental threat to humanity, these technological breakthroughs and narrative shifts together constitute a profound crisis of historical consciousness. To provide a framework of meaning and directional guidance for humanity’s response to technological challenges and intellectual shocks, the concepts of the “singularity moment” and the “Promethean dimension” serve as analytical tools. They help historians systematically examine the irreversible changes that artificial intelligence is bringing to human civilization, reveal how technological breakthroughs place humanity between the dual possibilities of creation and destruction, and reconstruct humanity’s world of meaning through a shared historical narrative. In doing so, it may become possible to achieve a civilizational leap from an “era of intelligence scarcity” to an “era of intelligence abundance”, ultimately serving the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, safeguarding and reshaping humanity’s world of meaning amid the tides of the technological age.
Key words:
