The development of artificial intelligence has caused the tension between human beings and technology to a certain extent now.The academic circles have also carried out researches on the potential threats caused by the development of artificial intelligence,such as the unemployment and ethical crises.From the perspective of the history of science and technology,the paper will reveal the formatting and developing process of the Luddite Movement.From that,we will deepen our understanding of the British government's treatment at that time.As a historical event,Luddite Movement caused a major conflict between humans and machines.By relating it with the current development of artificial intelligence,we will learn how to solve the unemployment problem caused by artificial intelligence.The Luddite Movement was the first time in human history that machines replaced human labor,which caused a violent and lasting movement of workers to destroy machines.It had a huge impact on the society at that time.The British government tried to calm down the situation by means of military police repression and court sentences,while parliament also took corresponding measures at the national level.Although the Luddite Movement did not stop the process of industrial revolution in the end,it is of great historical and practical significance for us to re-evaluate the evaluating process of the Luddite Movement from a historical perspective,the way how the government and parliament handled it,especially its impact on the process of the British industrial revolution.This paper will launch a research mainly through the literature reference methods,the comprehensive analysis methods and so on.Firstly,I will sort out the development status and prospect of artificial intelligence.Secondly,I will make a brief summary and analysis about the emergence and development of the Luddite Movement in Britain.Theargument in this paper will reveal that some of the worrying and frightening threats actually lack a solid theoretical basis,and the unemployment problem can be solved by systematic social policies. |
