Abstract

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is triggering changes in social structure and social mentality. With the networking, digitization and intelligence of human society, the boundaries between social mentality and social behavior in cyberspace are blurring day by day, and the subjects of cyber behavior are gradually embedded with various types of algorithm-driven non-human intelligences including ChatGPT in addition to real Internet users, and the relationship between human and machine has become a basic social relationship. The general generative artificial intelligence represented by ChatGPT has even broken through the monopoly of human language ability, aggravating the value concern of human beings about themselves as the only “intelligent body” on the earth, and thus triggering a crisis in the mentality of all human beings about their own sense of ontological existence. For this reason, the governance of social mentality and the design of social mechanisms in the age of intelligence should be aimed at guaranteeing the subjective value of human beings more adequately, so that a better life in the future will be able to accommodate the existence of human beings themselves. This also calls for the revival of a social psychology full of humanity.
