Abstract:Brain-computer intelligence is increasingly emerging as a core variable in reshaping human cognition and social relations. Its fundamental challenge lies in how to construct a symbiotic order among humans, technology, and society amidst ongoing technological iteration. The algorithmic revolution, while reshaping social efficiency, introduces profound governance challenges concerning digital personality rights, the alienation of social relations, and the dissolution of humanity. The exploration of machine consciousness not only concerns the boundaries of technology but also promises to deepen our understanding of the nature of human consciousness, necessitating the extraction of measurable evaluative features based on neuroscientific theories. The human brain, as a social organ, exhibits a spectrum of functional diversity ranging from psychopathy to creativity, rather than a simple binary state; interventions in this realm require collaborative investigation by both brain science and social science. Within the landscape of techno-cultural trends, the optimistic narratives of the technological singularity and human enhancement stand in tension with profound concerns over value alignment failure and the erosion of human existential value. Together, they point to a fundamental question: In the process of technology reshaping the boundaries of life, how can the core meaning of “being human” be safeguarded? Viewed from a historical perspective, technology has always co-evolved with civilization. The healthy development of brain-computer intelligence urgently requires the integration of technological exploration with humanistic concern, and the construction of a full-chain ethical framework spanning R&D, application, and governance, in order to realize technology for good and the sustainability of civilization.
