Abstract: As a disruptive and strategic technology leading the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence drives profound changes in the labor process through three internal mechanisms: the digital and intelligent leap of the three elements of productivity, data becoming a key production factor, and the“concept construction”of human-like thinking. Based on the differences in skill levels and labor relations among workers, the artificial intelligence labor process can be defined as four manifestations. Further research reveals that the transformation of the labor process under the embedding of artificial intelligence presents four dimensions: flexible reconstruction of organizational forms, digital and intelligent collaboration in division of labor and cooperation, enhanced covert labor control, and innovation in value formation mechanisms. In the face of the impact brought about by the transformation of the labor process driven by artificial intelligence, dialectical thinking should be adhered to. On the one hand, it is necessary to give full play to the advantages of artificial intelligence in improving production efficiency, creating labor positions, improving the working environment, and highlighting the subjectivity of labor. On the other hand, in response to challenges such as the intensifying unemployment risk, the widening income gap, the accumulation of ethical risks, and the absence of rights protection, the potential risks of artificial intelligence should be effectively addressed from such dimensions as enhancing digital and intelligent literacy, universal sharing of benefits, governance of intelligent algorithms, and the formulation of laws and regulations.

Key words: artificial intelligence, labor process, the three elements of productive forces
