Abstract: Artificial Intelligence Ethical Standards (AIES) should precede the construction of a unified market for the emerging digital economy. By surveying the present state of artificial intelligence ethical research, this paper identifies leading trends in Europe and America, which establish a seminal discourse, yet fall short of a more rigorous theoretical foundation for ethical standards and system frameworks. This paper takes the fundamental concept of artificial intelligence ethical standards as a breakthrough point, adheres to the guidance of Marxism, and through full use of historical investigation and logical deduction methods in response to the question of whether artificial intelligence ethical standards are indeed even possible, and if so, by what means? First, the discussion begins through careful analysis of existing standards, theories, and standards law, this paper argues that artificial intelligence ethical standards are possible both from a theoretical and practical viewpoint. Second, issues pertaining to Western models of standard are examined through the use of a Marxist critical method of political economy, whereby a Marxist mechanism of artificial intelligence ethical standards is proposed. This paper introduces the operating rule system of human society in western standard theory, i.e. “Norm-Directive-Standard”, and extracts “Wissenschaft” to complement the former by reviewing the important discussion of Marxist political economy theory on the First Industrial Revolution and machine invention. Therefore, this paper forms a new Marxist operating rule system of human society, i.e. “Wissenschaft-Norm-Directive-Standard”. Third, by the observance of the dynamic interaction between technology, ethics, economy, and standards since the industrial revolution, this paper analyzes the operating principle for relevant rules which inform the construction of ethical standards in human social systems, and aims to demonstrate the principle of societal value within the artificial intelligence field, through its potential conversion into similar principles of technical performance and/or economic efficiency - suggesting a conceptual model of “Water Molecule Model”, i.e. Model E2T, for Marxist artificial intelligence ethical standards. In the process of constructing a unified market in China, the AIES model is helpful for ensuring the transfer of principles that help realize the value of Chinese modernization such as “common prosperity” from a bottom-up view of technology, in order to provide ethical justification for the R & D of AI technology and industrial implementations, as well as strengthening the competitiveness of agents in the socialist market economy, and coordinated developments between AI and human society. Altogether, this paper’s contribution can be classified into three main areas; philosophical, methodological, and theoretical. Regarding the first, by comparing the historical background of unified markets at home and abroad, this paper proposes the idea of development, i.e. “unified market, artificial intelligence ethical standards first”. Second, by using the Marxist critical method of political economy, this paper brings to the fore important discussions on the industrial revolution and mechanical innovation, providing empirical support for a “knowledge system” which complements certain Western standard theory of human society operating rules system and their principles of operation. Third, the “Water Molecule Model” of Marxist artificial intelligence ethical standards is established by analyzing the operating mechanism of “Wissenschaft-Norm-Directive-Standard”, which offers a new ontological basis for contemporary Chinese artificial intelligence ethical standards and discourse system.
