人工國度:科幻與 AI 目標函數的政治
The Artificial State: SF and the politics of the objective function in AI
文章把 AI 系統視為目的的政治經濟問題,指出核心在於由誰制定成功指標。借 Samuel Butler 與 Karel Čapek 的科幻構想,文章探討人與工具的關係及對基礎設施的依賴,並指出「robot」一詞源自 robota,令人想起無所要求的完美工人構想。文章最後指出,自動化不只是技術問題,也是涉及利益分配及生產資源控制權的經濟困境。
The text analyzes artificial intelligence systems not through the prism of human desires, but as a political economy of purpose, where the key question is who establishes the metrics of success. Using science fiction as a laboratory for political theory, the author invokes the visions of Samuel Butler and Karel Čapek to show the evolution of the relationship between human and tool. Butler draws attention to the danger of infrastructural dependence, in which systems become essential for society's functioning. Meanwhile, the etymology of the word 'robot' (robota) reminds us that AI originates from the dream of a perfect worker devoid of claims. The article concludes that automation is not merely a technical problem, but an economic dilemma concerning the distribution of benefits and control over productive resources.
