In recent years, the study of labor theory of value in the context of artificial intelligence has become the focus of current social attention. Academics focus on the “value creation in the context of artificial intelligence”, “the applicability of the theory of value of labor in the era of artificial intelligence” and “the development trend of artificial intelligence and human labor” and start a new round of discussions. The core issue is “whether the classical labor theory of value has become obsolete in the age of artificial intelligence”, and no unified consensus has been reached on some major theoretical issues. Based on this and adhering to a problem-conscious approach to tracing history, this study finds that since the 1980s, the economics community has scientifically responded to the assertions of “machine creates value” and “invalidation of classical labor theory of value” in the context of the new technological revolution and put forward new interpretations and new ideas. Recalling the classics, we re-examine the labor theory of value in the era of artificial intelligence based on the theoretical framework of Marxist political economy, with a view to clarifying doubts, raising awareness and enhancing the value of the labor theory of value in the era of artificial intelligence.
