Artificial intelligence and people’s consensus

Abstract

With its ever-going development, artificial Intelligence (AI for short) is profoundly changing people’s way of life and our world. In recent years, AI development has aroused widespread concern from the international community. Some developed countries such as the USA, Japan, Britain, and Germany have successively formulated their programs for developing artificial intelligence. In July, 2017, Chinese Government promulgated “The Program for Developing A New Generation of Artificial Intelligence.” Before AI was available, people were living in a binary space which consisted of physical space (P for short) and human social space (H for short). In this binary space, the orders for human activities are decided by the interactions and interrelations among the people and between man and object and man acts as the formulator and dominator in human social orders. With the rapid development of mega-data, cloud computing and IOT, intelligent mobile devices, wearable alliances, and “Internet+" react on different sectors of human society and promote the advent of the third industrial revolution and the intelligence era, which drive people to the ternary space (PHC) marked by physical space (P), human social space (H), and CyberSpace (C for short). In the ternary space (PHC), the orders of human society will be invariably restructured. Whether you are aware of such change or not, the profound influence upon human social life which is brought by artificial intelligence becomes a consensus of all walks of life. Therefore, mankind should take the initiative measures so that they may adapt themselves to such change.
