Knowledge Productive Force: Intelligentization and Godly Brain’s Work
Knowledge Productive Force: Intelligentization and Godly Brain’s Work
In the face of the automation trend of material production，some people have got into a panic，wanting to stop it. But it is a pity that all those efforts are just like throwing straws against the wind. In time of the industrial revolution in the 18th century, a so-called “Lud Movement” broke out in Great Britain, which was a movement of artificial destruction of machines；Today，similar things have appeared: There are many people fearing robots and hating robots. Some scientists are worrying that the would-be “robot species” on the earth might threaten human life. In fact, it will not be so. As early as the time before the robot was born, American science fiction writer Asimov published a book Robot, which set three ground rules for the relationship between robot and human：
The robot may not hurt mankind.
The robot may not sit watching when mankind is being hurt.
The robot may not result in hurting of mankind.
In any condition or any case，the robot should never go against the three major rules. The robot is made by man, and all robots in future will abide strictly by these three major rules. Hence，the robot is bound to be absolutely obedient and loyal to mankind, and should never threaten human life.
The all-round automation production system represented by the robot has caused an earthshaking change in mankind’s material productive force. After realization of full automation and zero-price of products, man will be freed from the material production that has swallowed most of his time and energy since his birth, and will use all his time and energy for the most valuable things. So, all fine dreams that mankind dare not imagine now will come true for certain.
After the robot does everything for mankind, what should man do then? Where does human value lie?
To answer this question, please answer another question first：In the beginning period of America, its farming population was as high as 95%，but now it is only 2%. Where have the former farmers gone? In addition, where have the so many industrial workers gone? Most of them have turned to the service industry. From now on, even the service industry will be undertaken by robots mostly. So, more and more people are bound to flow into the knowledge production industry，namely the science and technology industry. The whole society will step into a science society and intelligence society，with stress being laid on development of the knowledge productive force.
