人工智能正加速融入人类社会，碳基文明与硅基文明的相遇，让人类与智能的共生理念走入现实。理 解"碳硅共生"，即理解人类文明未来的可能方向。碳硅共生分为工具性共生、生理性共生、认知性共生 和存在性共生。 工具性共生是现在我们所处的阶段，AI 作为强大的工具，延伸了我们的大脑，主动权仍在人类手中。 生理性共生是指技术成为我们身体的一部分。人类通过各种技术增强自己，实现"碳硅共生"在物理层面 的融合，诸如植入式医疗设备、脑机接口等。认知性共生则认为 AI 不再是工具，而是拥有理解、推理 甚至创作能力的合作伙伴，人与 AI 协作共赢，形成集体的智能，这是思维层面的深度共生。存在性共 生是最富有争议的层面，意识上传、数字永生，人类与 AI 融合形成新的物种，碳硅共生界限模糊，形 成新的存在形式。 碳硅共生模式如何演进？这关乎技术的迭代，更关乎人类自身命运的走向。从中国政策层面看，碳硅共 生的双重属性在2025 年中国人工智能政策中实现了从"理念共识"到"制度实践"的跨越。 AI 与经济社会深度融合写入国家战略 AI for Life："硅基伙伴"深度对齐人类需求，重塑数智生活方式。AI 从工具升级为主动响应的生活协同 者 ...
