Ma Song puts forward a judgment about the knowledge society in "Post-Knowledge Society"

On October 21, 2026, Ma Song, a tenured professor of financial economics at Yale University, put forward a judgment in "Post-Knowledge Society": the knowledge society of the past 200 years is essentially the history of the industrialized production of humans as knowledge containers. He also pointed out that AI, for the first time, allows knowledge to be directly invoked apart from specific people, shaking the premise of the past 200 years of the knowledge society, namely "installing knowledge into people." Regarding this change, Ma Song believes that the labor market will present a "bimodal structure": at one end are super platforms that control data and algorithms and AI-leveraged talent, and at the other end are AI-empowered freelancers and "one-person companies," while traditional mid-level knowledge workers bear two-way pressure. He also stated that institutions such as education, employment, and social security are still in a "vacuum period," and that the dividends of technology will not automatically be distributed evenly.
