Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English. The paper by David M. Lyreskog et al. explores the ethical challenges and opportunities that the application of ABT will bring. The findings are enlightening. This article provides insight into a possible technical power issue with the application of ABT, namely the manufacturing of “standard people,” including the standardization of emotions, which may stifle creativity. When assisting people’s thinking and cognition, ABT may overlook the correlation of emotional reactions and cause harm to humans. ABT may also obtain standard behavior patterns through big data statistics and use them to shape humans. Obviously, such situations constitute an abuse of technical power.
