区分问题发现与问题解决,揭示人类智能的体验根基。
Exploring Societal Concerns and Perceptions of AI: A Thematic Analysis through the Lens of Problem-Seeking
- 提出问题发现与问题解决的新框架,强调人类智能的具身性
- 分析157个YouTube视频,发现公众对AI既好奇又担忧的双重态度
- 主张提升情感与数字素养,推动人机协同而非替代
本研究提出一个新概念框架,区分‘问题发现’(人类基于体验和情感主动设定目标)与‘问题解决’(执行策略达成预设目标),以阐明人类智能与AI的本质差异。问题发现具有具身性和情感基础,而当前AI仅擅长高效优化,缺乏这种内在驱动力。研究基于157个讨论AI的YouTube视频元数据,采用混合方法进行主题分析,结合定性洞察与关键词量化指标,识别出隐私、失业、虚假信息、乐观情绪及伦理担忧等核心议题。结果表明公众对AI能力抱有浓厚兴趣,同时对其社会影响存在焦虑与怀疑。研究批判了‘智能与目标内容可分离’的正交性假说,主张人类智能将目标设定与追求融为一体。强调具身认知在人类思维中的核心地位,并指出当前AI受限于计算处理范式。建议通过增强情感与数字素养,引导负责任的AI参与;呼吁重构公共话语,将AI定位为增强而非取代人类智能的工具。该研究将问题发现置于认知核心,为伦理化、以人为本的AI发展提供新视角。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study introduces a novel conceptual framework distinguishing problem-seeking from problem-solving to clarify the unique features of human intelligence in contrast to AI. Problem-seeking refers to the embodied, emotionally grounded process by which humans identify and set goals, while problem-solving denotes the execution of strategies aimed at achieving such predefined objectives. The framework emphasizes that while AI excels at efficiency and optimization, it lacks the orientation derived from experiential grounding and the embodiment flexibility intrinsic to human cognition. To empirically explore this distinction, the research analyzes metadata from 157 YouTube videos discussing AI. Conducting a thematic analysis combining qualitative insights with keyword-based quantitative metrics, this mixed-methods approach uncovers recurring themes in public discourse, including privacy, job displacement, misinformation, optimism, and ethical concerns. The results reveal a dual sentiment: public fascination with AI's capabilities coexists with anxiety and skepticism about its societal implications. The discussion critiques the orthogonality thesis, which posits that intelligence is separable from goal content, and instead argues that human intelligence integrates goal-setting and goal-pursuit. It underscores the centrality of embodied cognition in human reasoning and highlights how AI's limitations come from its current reliance on computational processing. The study advocates for enhancing emotional and digital literacy to foster responsible AI engagement. It calls for reframing public discourse to recognize AI as a tool that augments -- rather than replaces -- human intelligence. By positioning problem seeking at the core of cognition and as a critical dimension of intelligence, this research offers new perspectives on ethically aligned and human-centered AI development.
