AI 时代学科裂变:记忆型文科衰退,思辨型文科崛起,也许我们正在迎来“哲学复兴”
Dr Xiaoyun Peng argues that the AI shock does not hit the humanities uniformly. What collapses is memory-based work — routine translation, document classification, literature sorting, contract review — because these are pattern recognition tasks at which machine learning excels. What rises is the reasoning-based humanities, philosophy above all, because every large-scale deployment of AI requires a set of ethical rules and nobody else is trained to write them. She works through autonomous driving as a modern version of the trolley problem, the authorship of generative output, and bias control in machine learning models, then turns to what AI cannot reach: subjective experience, in Thomas Nagel's sense. She notes that Google, Microsoft and OpenAI now employ ethicists with philosophy backgrounds, and that philosophy is entering schools through programmes such as P4C in Britain.
