The theory of human liberation is the core of Marxist theory.Individual's liberation is to promote the free and comprehensive development of Individuals.The development of science and technology has played an important role in the process of human liberation.Scientific and technological revolutions in history have brought about profound changes in human society and human living conditions.AI is the leading technology driving a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and represents the latest technological form of productivity development.The application of AI in real production and life has had a great impact on the development of human society and human itself.AI technology is special because it aims to simulate human intelligence.Its realistic development puts forward the rethinking to the human philosophy basic questions,such as the human nature,the human consciousness,the human subjectivity and so on.People not only have high hopes for the liberation of mankind by AI,but also feel pessimistic about the uncertainty of human prospect under the background of high development of artificial intelligence.In this context,it is of theoretical value and practical significance to investigate the great changes of living conditions that human beings are experiencing in the era of artificial intelligence from the perspective of Marxist theory of human liberation,and to explain how far human beings are from the state of liberation.Starting from the practical application of AI in the present and a foreseeable future,it finds that AI,as a tool of production,communication,organizational change,decision-making,companionship,and technologicalization of natural human beings,will bring revolutionary changes to human labor,human communication,human relations with nature,and human relations with their own nature.Therefore,this paper takes labor,communication and the relationship between human and nature as three main dimensions to investigate human's liberation under the condition of artificial intelligence technology and attempts to reveal what conditions artificial intelligence creates for resolving contradictions that prevent the realization of human essence,and investigates the new forms of alienation of the contradiction around human being under the effect of AI technology.AI has created conditions for the restoration of human essence,but it makes the human labor and human communication in new forms of alienation,and the relationship between human and nature has undergone new changes at a higher stage of social development.It is in the settlement of the old contradictions and the generation of the new ones that hinder human liberation that the situation of human liberation presents a spiral upward trend.The application of AI has the most extensive and profound impact on the field of human labor.The influence of AI technology on human labor not only follows the universal influence brought by the trend of automation since the industrial revolution,but also has the special influence brought by the special technical form.AI,as a means of labor and a "new type of worker",plays an auxiliary and substitute role in human labor.It greatly improves labor productivity,creates conditions for the extension of free time,and also helps to liberate people from the unreasonable working conditions of heavy,dangerous and repetitive work.AI is changing the division of labor.The labor mode,labor process,labor relationship and the labor ability of the individual laborer also show new characteristics.But the application of AI in the workforce has also raised concerns about unemployment.Under the logic of capital,artificial intelligence,as a tool of capital multiplication,brings new shackles to human labor liberation.Unremunerated digital labor and intelligent algorithm's discipline of labor process are new forms of labor alienation.AI has created a material basis for human communication activities,changed the most basic communication relationship produced in the process of labor,provided a new communication tool for human communication,and created a new communication mode.The positive significance of AI to human communication is reflected in several aspects.Firstly,AI is endowed with the direct communication subject status,which meets people's specific communication needs and service needs.Secondly,AI promotes the richness of material and spiritual communication activities,and promotes the establishment of rich communication relationships.Thirdly,AI expands the spatial and temporal dimensions of human communication in two ways.On the one hand,it promotes the improvement of labor efficiency and expands people's free time for communication and it promotes the expansion of people's communication space due to the expansion of productivity space.On the other hand,as a medium of communication technology,AI has the potential to break the one-dimensional nature of time and AI augmented reality and virtual reality technology have created new space for human communication.But in an era when capitalism is still dominant,the use of AI has also given rise to new forms of alienation in human communication.As the subject of communication,AI will devalue people's own value and weaken the real communication relationship.Different communication subjects solidify and reproduce power because of mastering and utilizing AI technology.It results in the unequal status of communication between people,government and society,and between countries.AI autonomy will also become a counterproductive force.People have two bodies,one is the innate body,the other is the inorganic body,that is,nature.AI acts on the external nature in order to creating the material basis of human's survival and development,and forms the relationship between human and nature.AI can be used as a new technological means to promote the harmonious development of the relationship between human and nature.But just like the negative effects of other technologies throughout history,the rapid development and widespread application of AI technology will also impose a burden on the ecological environment.Therefore,it is necessary to reflect on the impact of AI on nature from the perspective of ecological ethics.AI acting on natural humans will change the natural evolution of the human species,and arouses the bioethical thinking about "post-human".It remains to be proved by the further development of technology and the concrete practice on human beings whether the life existence pattern of man-machine combination is the final judgment or the most complete liberation for human beings.AI technology presents the biggest paradox of technology.At present,to make artificial intelligence serve for promoting social development and human liberation,it is necessary to eliminate the alienation of labor and communication brought by artificial intelligence and to predict the impact of artificial intelligence on the relationship between man and nature.In order to eliminate the alienation of human beings,in the final analysis,it is still necessary to vigorously develop the productive forces,promote the fundamental reform of the mode of production,and then reform the relations of production that restrict the development of human beings in the advanced stage of the development of productive forces.Secondly,man needs to liberate himself because man is the subject of alienation and also the subjectivity force to eliminate his own alienation living condition.Thirdly,narrow the gap between AI technology,and guarantee the accessibility of AI technology and the sharing of the achievements of AI technology development.Fourthly,accelerate ethical and legal research in the field of AI,and establish human-machine ethics,bioethics and ecological ethics norms,and through legal means to prevent the misuse and illegal use of AI technology.Fifthly,start from the technology itself,strengthen scientific research,and make AI technology more mature,and develop safe,interpretable artificial intelligence.The potential of AI to promote human liberation depends on the co-evolution of technology and institution.Under the socialist system with Chinese characteristics,the use of artificial intelligence has always been aimed at improving the well-being of the people.
