A Cross-Examination of Wang Yangming’s “Si Ju Jiao” and Artificial Intelligence—A Case Study of “Liangzhi”

本文以王阳明的“四句教”为切入点，探讨人工智能视角下良知的重要性。当前人工智能所面对的问题实质上是人自身问题的一种再现。人们在当今的技术时代必须重新面对“何为人”的命题，如果只是依赖工具而忽视了在技术之中人性的重要性，那么造成的是工具对于人的异化，也是对于工具形成目的的背离。This study takes Wang Yangming’s “Si Ju Jiao” as an entry point to explore the importance of conscience from an artificial intelligence perspective. The fundamental challenges faced by contemporary AI essentially mirror humanity’s own unresolved issues. In this technological era, we must reexamine the fundamental question of “what constitutes human nature.” If we persist in relying solely on technological tools while neglecting the essential role of humanity in technological development, we risk enabling the alienation of humans by tools—a fundamental betrayal of the original purpose of technological instruments.
