Abstract: The digital society refers to a social form driven by digital technology, a multi-layered and complex system that constantly evolves and generates through technological iterations. Reinterpreting the digital society is of significant necessity and should follow a systematic analytical framework of “core technological devices - social organizational logic - social relational structure - social ethical issues”. Accordingly, from the advent of electronic computers to the popularity of the global Internet, from the rise of artificial intelligence to the emergence of large language models, the digital society has undergone four rounds of social form reconstruction driven by technology. As the “core technological device”, digital technology continually drives the iteration of “social organizational logic” and the reorganization of “social relational structure”, while also giving rise to new and increasingly complex “social ethical issues”. The reinterpreting of the digital society will help better address the social transformations empowered by digital technology and lead toward a smarter and more sustainable digital civilization.
