摘要

本文探讨了关于所谓的“第四次工业革命”(FIR)或人工智能和机器人在工作场所日益增加的就业影响的争论。我分析了与这场辩论相关的三种“流派”(包括新古典和非正统/后人类方法在内的学术研究、“灰色文学”和大众媒体)，我认为它们共同代表了“未来的素材”，或者是“执行”FIR及其预期后果的话语和知识。我进一步认为，这些类型涉及道德和政治的复杂混合，我最后对FIR辩论的政治含义进行了反思。

Futurological fodder: on communicating the relationship between artificial intelligence, robotics, and employment

ABSTRACT This article examines the debate concerning the employment implications of the so-called ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ (FIR) or the increasing presence of artificial intelligence and robotics in workplaces. I analyze three ‘genres’ associated with this debate (academic studies including neo-classical and heterodox/post-human approaches, the ‘gray literature’, and popular media) and I argue that together they represent ‘futurological fodder’ or discourses and knowledges that ‘perform’ the FIR and its purported consequences. I contend further that these genres involve a complex mix of ethics and politics, and I conclude with a reflection on the political implications of the FIR debate.
