Author(s)

Abstract
The key to the value of big data lies in its application. The big data industry is rapidly developing into a new generation of information technology and service formats, that is, collecting, storing and correlation analyzing a large number of data with scattered sources and diverse formats, and discovering new knowledge, creating new value and improving new capabilities.The new generation of information technology revolution represented by big data and artificial intelligence is widely and profoundly affecting and changing human society, promoting social development, and changing the way of human survival and social interaction. Big data is the new engine for the information industry to become a sustained and rapid economic and social growth. New industries, new products and new services emerging from the new technological revolution facing the big data market. Because of this, the impact of big data information technology on individuals and society has attracted people's attention. At present, the discussion of big data information technology involves advocacy of positive impacts, as well as warnings about privacy violations, discrimination, loss of skills, negative economic impacts, moral responsibility, security risks of key infrastructure and long-term impact of social well-being. Only in line with human moral values and ethical principles, this product of the high-tech era can fully realize its benefits.
