在當今AI科技蓬勃發展的時代，AI作為生產工具逐漸地從科幻小說的故事情節變成日常生活中無所不在的科技工具。正如同手機與網路在過往的30年間逐漸成為了我們生活與工作的必備工具，AI工具也將在不久的未來成為人類社會不可失去的必需品。

一但AI成為人們思考與判斷不可或缺的工具，甚至成為人們辯證資訊真實性的主要工具時，人類是否將失去辨別真實的能力，轉而受到AI所誤導、中介？本研究透過相關文獻研究、概念梳理、藝術作品回顧與實際創作實踐，以互動聲音裝置的形式具象化「AI科技中介人類」的概念與意象，藉此引導將科技產品視為理所當然的現代人，增進人們對科技發展與人類使用行為的討論與重視。

本研究分為五大部分，第一部分為緒論，將簡述本研究之創作背景、動機、目的與方法。第二部分為文獻探討，以科技發展的脈絡為基礎，解釋人類如何對科技工具產生依賴性，而人類的心智機能又是如何受科技所影響，致使過度依賴AI的人，其思考行為受AI科技所制約。另一方面也回顧不同時期與功能的傳播科技如何作為資訊的中介，參與並影響人類獲取「真實資訊」的過程，而這樣的發展模式放到現今科技又會產生什麼樣的影響？最後，透過統整人類的心理機制與媒體逐漸擴展的中介能力，導出當代科技發展對人類真實知覺的影響，並產出本研究之核心提問。第三部分為創作計畫，包含創作理念、作品回顧、創作形式、創作概念、創作內容與技術實作，其中再細分空間、聲響、視覺、文字論述、觀展者歷程等不同角度討論。第四部分為訪談回饋與討論，藉由質化訪談檢驗本次研究的成果是否有達成本次研究之目的。最後於第五章總結本研究之結論、檢討、限制與未來展望。

In an era marked by the rapid advancement of AI technology, artificial intelligence has evolved from a speculative concept in science fiction into an omnipresent tool embedded in everyday life. Just as mobile phones and the internet have become indispensable to our daily routines and production activities over the past three decades, AI tools are poised to become an essential part of human society in the near future.

Once AI becomes an indispensable tool for human thinking and judgment, even the primary mechanism through which we perceive and interpret reality, will humanity lose the ability to construct an independent sense of the real, becoming instead subject to AI mediation or even distortion? This research explores the question through literature review, case studies of artistic works, and the creation of an interactive sound installation. By reifying the concept of “The mediated society by AI technology”, this project aims to prompt reflection among contemporary individuals who often take technological tools for granted, while also encouraging critical thinking on how technological development increasingly shapes and mediates human experience and perception.

This thesis is structured into five chapters. The first chapter serves as an introduction, outlining the background, motivation, purpose, and methodology of the research. The second chapter presents the literature review, tracing the historical development of technology and examining how humans have gradually developed a dependence on technological tools. It further explores how dependency on AI technologies influences cognitive functions, leading to the function of judgment and thinking dominated by AI technologies. Additionally, this chapter reviews various communication technological tools across different historical periods and functions, analyzing how these tools have served as mediators that influence human perception of reality, and how this model of mediation manifests in today’s technological context. Through this review of cognitive psychology and media theory, the chapter culminates in the formulation of the study’s main research question: how do technological advancements impact human perception of reality? The third chapter focuses on the production process, including the conceptual framework, reference works, aesthetics, and technical practice. It discusses the work from multiple perspectives, including spatial design, sound aesthetics, visual design, statement, and the viewer’s perspective. Chapter Four presents the results of qualitative interviews conducted with exhibition participants, evaluating whether the project achieved its intended goals. Finally, Chapter Five offers conclusions, limitations, reflections, and future directions for further exploration.
