人机融合复杂社会系统研究

Research on Human-machine Integration Complex Social System

新一轮科技革命的日益深入正在深刻地影响并改造着社会生活生产方式,社会系统正在演变成由人类社会空间、信息系统和客观物理环境耦合在一起的复杂系统,社会系统中的行动者、社会关系、社会结构与功能等正经历着深刻变化,人类正在步入人机融合为特征的全新社会形态。这种深刻变化使社会系统的认识、研究和治理均面临着重大挑战。本文首先从社会系统理论视角,阐述了人机融合复杂社会系统的定义,从社会构成主体与结构、沟通方式与沟通媒介和社会分化与演化等方面分析了人机融合复杂社会系统的独特内涵。在此基础上,提出了人机融合复杂社会系统研究亟需解决的基础问题:(1)人机融合复杂社会系统中的人机协同;(2)人机融合环境下的社会网络;(3)人机融合复杂社会系统涌现机制与演化规律。最后,针对现有社会科学研究方法在解决复杂社会系统整体性问题中所面临的困境,提出了基于系统论的复杂社会系统研究范式。

The deepening of the new round of scientific-technological revolution is profoundly affecting and transforming the way of social living and production.The social system is evolving into a complex system coupled with human social space,information systems,and the physical environment.In the social system,actors,social relations,social structure,and social functions are profoundly changing.Human beings are entering a new social form characterized by the integration of human and machine.Such changes have brought significant challenges to the understanding,research,and governance of social systems.The definition of the human-machine integration social system is expounded from the perspective of the social system theory.It analyzes the unique connotation of human-machine integration complex social system from the aspects of social constituent subjects and structures,communication and media,and social differentiation and evolution.On this basis,the basic problems that need to be solved urgently in the research of human-machine integration complex social systems are proposed:(1)Human-machine collaboration in human-machine integration complex social systems;(2)Social networks in the environment of human-machine integration;(3)Emergence mechanism and evolution law of human-machine integration complex social system.Finally,aiming at the difficulties faced by previous social science research methods in solving the integrity problem of complex social systems,a research paradigm of complex social systems based on the system theory is proposed.
