The recognition of data as the fifth factor of production represents a significant theoretical breakthrough. Unlike traditional factors of production such as land and capital
data is non-scarce; the more it is used
the more it accumulates and the greater its value becomes. Current artificial intelligence is essentially data intelligence
marking the triumph of connectionism
and is fundamentally the automation of intelligence powered by data. The fervor around data intelligence signals a revival of holism as a scientific research methodology
indicating that new scientific discoveries will no longer be confined to the paradigm of reductionism. Data underpins the logic of the internet
and the CPC's oversight of the internet
when implemented at the operational level
translates to the CPC's oversight of data. Over the two years since its establishment
the National Data Administration has conducted comprehensive explorations in areas such as fundamental data systems and data infrastructure
creating an urgent need for theoretical and technical support from academia and the scientific community. It is an unequivocal responsibility for us to develop a novel knowledge system for the study of data as a factor of production.
