元宇宙的“软基建”:虚实共生系统的风险治理

The Soft Infrastructure of the Metaverse:Risk Governance of the Symbiotic System of Virtual and Real

元宇宙概念正在去虚务实走向技术落地,一场以“算力”为核心的元宇宙基础建设正在成为全球科技企业发力的着力点。在“元宇宙终将成为什么”的研究热潮下,还存在以技术逻辑主导的“硬基建”回应不足的窘境。以存有系统、价值系统、人生系统为价值内核的“软基建”布局将其风险的探讨置于更广阔的思辨框架中,成为风险认知、规避与应对的逻辑起点。在从自然到拟态的存有系统中,构建良性的社会运行规则和价值交换体系,保证个体的数字身份安全和人机交互的平衡,创建以重回人的主体价值为核心特征的新型元宇宙场景,需要建立在对新技术不断追问和深入反思的基础上,使技术逻辑重回以人为尺度的传播实践。

The concept of the metaverse is moving away from mere hype towards technological implementation.A fundamental infrastructure built around"computing power"is becoming a focal point for global tech companies.Amidst the research craze about what the metaverse will eventually become,there is still a dilemma of an insufficient response to the hard infrastructure dominated by technology.The soft infrastructure layout,which takes the systems of existence,value systems,and life systems as its value core,frames the discussion of its risks within a broader view.This becomes the logical starting point for recognizing,avoiding,and responding to risks.As we transition from natural to simulated systems of existence,our goal is to establish benign social operating rules,value exchange systems,ensure the security of individual digital identities,and maintain a balance of human-computer interaction.Constructing a new type of metaverse scenario,centered on the core feature of returning to human-centric values,requires ongoing questioning and in-depth reflection on new technologies.This shifts the focus of communication practices from technical concerns to human concerns.
