While AI technology products such as DeepSeek and ChatGPT have enhanced social productivity and reduced labor intensity, they have inevitably triggered an AI anxiety phenomenon at both individual and societal levels. Current studies on AI anxiety in China and abroad lack an existential perspective to reveal its essence. Consequently, analyzing AI anxiety through the phenomenological method of “returning to the things themselves” not only clarifies the core of AI anxiety—characterized by “fear” and “dread” at its core, and manifested as technological, existential, and social anxieties marked by postmodernity, but also effectively reveals the technical, rational, and existential paradoxes inherent in the accelerated development of technology within the human-technological relationship. This paves the way to transcend these contradictions. The path begins with a dialectical unfolding of the contradictory structure of technological anxiety, aiming to overturn the perspectives of “technophilia” and nihilism, and resist the monistic logic and its externalization, advocating for authentic existence through a nomadic state of Being. Through reflective thinking, we can re-attune to the voice of Being. Through co-existence and symbiosis with technology, we can promote a balanced and harmonious “human-technology symbiosis”. This reveals technology’s emancipatory power grounded in ontological roots and social relations: technology serves both as humanity’s creative act of projecting intentionality towards Being, and as the channel through which Being manifests its “presence” and “authentic nature” to humanity. While transforming social relations, technology not only lays material foundations for realizing humanity’s “free and well-rounded development” but also facilitates the transition from “material dependence” to “free individuality”.
