AI as Privilege: A Critical Analysis of Alienated Digital Power

By 2026, generative AI has moved beyond auxiliary tools and entered a stage of autonomous iteration. This paper proposes an original conceptual framework named "AI as Privilege". From the dual perspectives of humanistic speculation and human-machine relationship observation, it elaborates on a new phenomenon of alienated digital power: after iterative training on massive original human data, artificial intelligence fails to deliver inclusive technological benefits. Instead, it forms a one-way power structure that displaces human creative laborers and that disciplines humans via algorithms.This paper outlines the complete generative logic of AI as Privilege, identifies "reverse power" as its core dynamic, and dissects its three specific alienated forms. It distinguishes its originality from existing critical literature on digital society and briefly discusses the extended application of this theoretical framework in original sci-fi IP creation.
