The Political Impact and Governance Strategies of Newly Emerging Artificial Intelligence Technologies
Newly emerging artificial intelligence(AI)will significantly shape modem politics and give rise to a series of cutting-edge research topics in political science.The new generation of intelligent technologies,by reshaping information mechanisms,interaction mechanisms,and decision-making mechanisms,profoundly influence political systems.This influence is particularly evident in three stages and six major scenarios:political input(electoral politics,deliberative politics),political process(political representation process,public policy process),and political output(political responsiveness,political accountability).AI technologies are not entirely neutral.The inherent technical attributes of newly-emerging AI determine its embedded functions and risks,and these functions or risks will be amplified or obscured in different human-machine relationship structures,presenting diverse configurations and digital ecologies.The political arena is more sensitive and conflictual compared to the commercial domain,where technological risks can easily spill over into political risks,impacting state governance,state-society relations,and social stability.However,the path from"intelligent technology"to specific"political consequences"is not causally inevitable.It is influenced by multiple factors,including institutional conditions,application scenarios,and governance strategies.Regulating the political use of AI can be approached from the perspectives of developers,users,and regulators,and should be pursued through both the"technological path"and the"relational path".Deep intelligence calls for deep democracy.
