异化与归正:社交机器人的信息表达与规制径路

Alienation and Normalization:The Information Expression and Regulation Path of Social Bots

社交机器人是由算法生成,能够模仿人类用户行为,通过改变社交网络节点之间的信息传输方式,诱发特定言论在目标受众中的病毒式扩散,借此操控网络舆情的人工智能账号集群。社交机器人的信息表达应归属于个人意见表达的范畴,相关内容存在法律边界的限制。社交机器人的应用失范与国家安全治理紧密关联,应将总体国家安全观作为相关法律规制的理念指引,强调“总体统筹”和“系统整合”的思维范式,彰显新发展阶段的中国特色的人民性。在具体路径选择上,首先应围绕网络空间命运共同体构建,完善相关网络法律体系;其次要加快推进网络信息技术自主创新,强化对算法的过程性监督,建立国家情报风险预警与应急机制;最后需打造多利益攸关方的协同共治新格局。

Social bots are clusters of artificial intelligence accounts generated by algorithmic programs that can mimic the behavior of human users and induce the viral spread of specific remarks among target audiences by changing the way information is transmitted between social network nodes,thereby manipulating network public opinion.The messaging behavior of social bots should belong to the category of personal opinion expression,and the relevant content is limited by the legal boundaries.The misapplication of social bots is closely related to national security governance,and a holistic approach to national security should be taken as the conceptual guide for relevant legal regulation,emphasizing the thinking paradigm of "overall coordination" and "system integration",and manifesting the people's character with Chinese characteristics at the new stage of development.In terms of specific path selection,it should improve the relevant network legal system around the building of a community with a shared future in cyberspace,accelerate the independent innovation of network information technology,strengthen the procedural supervision for algorithms,establish a national intelligence risk early warning and emergency response mechanism,and create a new pattern of pluralistic co-governance.
