隐忧与防范:人工智能介入民主政治的价值审视

Hidden Worries and Prevention:An Examination of the Value of Artificial Intelligence in Democratic Politics

作为新科技革命浪潮的重要力量,人工智能日益融入经济社会发展各领域全过程,为人类社会发展提供了强大动力。但是,人工智能技术在政治领域的深度介入也使得民主政治发展面临着诸多风险和挑战,如政治生态受损与社会公平正义遭到破坏、政治透明受朦与政府公信力下降、政治谣言肆虐与人的主体性价值消解等。上述风险和挑战是由技术系统的不确定性与不可解释性、资本的侵蚀与人工智能的意识形态化、算法权力的裹挟与无限扩张性等因由引起的。为确保人工智能技术在民主政治领域的向善向美,应通过加强核心技术攻坚,构建网络空间命运共同体;完善算法运行规制,打破算法赋权失衡状态;强化算法技术把关,提高技术监管水平;缩小数字鸿沟,提升公众数字素养等途径,形成技术与民主政治的良性互动,实现以“数智”促成“善治”的美好愿景。

As an important force in the wave of new technological revolution,artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into the entire process of economic and social development in various fields,providing strong impetus for the development of human society.However,the deep involvement of artificial intelligence technology in the political field also poses many risks and challenges to the development of democratic politics,such as the damage to the political ecology and the destruction of social fairness and justice,the obscurity of political transparency and the decline in government credibility,the rampant spread of political rumors and the disappearance of human subjectivity value.The above risks and challenges are caused by factors such as the uncertainty and inexplicability of technological systems,the erosion of capital and the ideological transformation of artificial intelligence,the coercion and infinite expansion of algorithmic power.To ensure the positive and beautiful development of artificial intelligence technology in the field of democratic politics,it is necessary to strengthen the core technology and build a community with a shared future in cyberspace;Improve the regulation of algorithm operation and break the imbalance in algorithm empowerment;Strengthen the control of algorithm technology and improve the level of technical supervision;Narrowing the digital divide,enhancing public digital literacy,and other means to form a positive interaction between technology and democratic politics,achieving the beautiful vision of promoting“good governance”through“digital intelligence”.
