This paper, based on an invited Thesis Eleven presentation (8 August 2019), provides a ‘map of technopolitics’ that springs from an investigation of the theoretical notion of technological convergence adopted by the US National Science Foundation, signaling a new paradigm of ‘nano-bio-info-cogno’ (NBIC) technologies. This integration at the nano-level is expected to drive the next wave of scientific research, technology and knowledge economy. The paper explores the concept of ‘technopolitics’ by investigating the links between Wittgenstein’s anti-scientism and Lyotard’s ‘technoscience’, reviewing the history of the notion in the work of the Belgium philosopher Gilbert Hottois. The ‘deep convergence’ representing a new technoscientific synergy is the product of long-term trends of ‘bioinformational capitalism’ that harnesses the twin forces of information and genetic sciences that coalesce in the least mature ‘cognosciences’ in their application to education and research. The map of technopolitics systematically identifies the political relations between Big Tech and ‘new digital publics’ to reveal that the new paradigm is based on the supreme value of cognitive efficiency. There are a closely-knit cluster of concerns that frame a map of political issues about the fifth-generation technological impacts on human beings, their bodies and minds, and public institutions, not least the logic of the distribution and ownership of data, information and knowledge, and its effects on democracy.

技术政治地图：深度融合、平台本体和认知效率

这篇论文基于受邀发表的第十一篇论文（2019 年 8 月 8 日），提供了一张“技术政治地图”，该地图源自对美国国家科学基金会采用的技术融合理论概念的调查，标志着“纳米”的新范式-bio-info-cogno' (NBIC) 技术。这种纳米级的整合有望推动下一波科学研究、技术和知识经济。本文通过调查维特根斯坦的反科学主义与利奥塔的“技术科学”之间的联系，回顾了比利时哲学家吉尔伯特·霍托伊斯作品中这一概念的历史，探讨了“技术政治”的概念。代表新的技术科学协同作用的“深度融合”是“生物信息资本主义”长期趋势的产物，它利用信息和遗传科学的双重力量，将最不成熟的“认知科学”结合到教育和研究中。技术政治地图系统地确定了大科技与“新数字公众”之间的政治关系，以揭示新范式基于认知效率的最高价值。有一系列密切关注的问题构成了关于第五代技术对人类、他们的身心以及公共机构的影响的政治问题地图，尤其是数据、信息和所有权的分配和所有权的逻辑。知识及其对民主的影响。
