This book centers on rethinking foundational values in the era of
frontier technologies by tapping into the wisdom of Chinese
philosophical traditions. It tries to answer the following
questions: How is the essence underpinning humans, nature, and
machines changing in this age of frontier technologies? What is the
appropriate ethical framework for regulating human-machine
relationships? What human values should be embedded in or learnt by
AI? Some interesting points emerged from the discussions. For
example, the three dominant schools of Chinese
thinking-Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism- invariably reflect
non-anthropocentric perspectives and none of them places humanity
in a supreme position in the universe. While many Chinese
philosophers are not convinced by the prospect of machine
intelligence exceeding that of humans, the strong influence of
non-anthropocentrism in the Chinese thinking contributed to much
less panic in China than in the West about the existential risks of
AI. The thinking is that as human beings have always lived with
other forms of existence, living with programs or other forms of
"beings," which may become more capable than humans, will not
inevitably lead to a dystopia. Second, all three schools emphasize
self-restraint, constant introspection, and the pursuit of
sage-hood or enlightenment. These views therefore see the potential
risks posed by frontier technologies as an opportunity for the
humanity to engage in introspection on the lessons learned from our
social and political history. It is long overdue that humanity
shall rethink its foundational values to take into account a
multi-being planetary outlook. This book consists of nine leading
Chinese philosophers' reflections on AI's impact on human nature
and the human society. This is a groundbreaking work, which has
pioneered the in-depth intellectual exploration involving
traditional Chinese philosophy and frontier technologies and has
inspired multidisciplinary and across area studies on AI,
philosophy, and ethical implications.
