Artificial Intelligence Empowers University Governance:Multiple Effects and Transformation of Governance Efficiency
When artificial intelligence meets university governance,digitization becomes not only an objective requirement to enhance the modernization of university governance capabilities and levels,but also an important way to promote innovation and institutional change in university governance.Based on the hi-erarchical structure of the university system,the complexity of the governance structure,and the digitali-zation of governance matters,an explanatory model of artificial intelligence technology empowering universi-ty governance under institutional embeddings was constructed,focusing on analyzing the multiple effects of artificial intelligence technology on university governance and its governance efficiency transformation.Re-search has found that under the joint influence of institutional embeddedness and artificial intelligence tech-nology,modern university governance becomes increasingly complex with the strengthening of the degree of externalization of university systems.In this gradual process,the influence and penetration of artificial in-telligence technology also become weaker,which also leads to the multiple effects of artificial intelligence technology on university governance and the different transformation and improvement mechanisms of gov-ernance efficiency:the lower the complexity of university governance,the lower the hierarchical structure of institutions,the higher the digitalization of governance fields,the more significant the positive effect of ar-tificial intelligence on university governance,and the greater the possibility of specific institutional changes,the easier it is to leverage the"technology system"collaborative mechanism to transform the institutional ad-vantages of modern universities with Chinese characteristics into governance efficiency,the higher the com-plexity of the university governance structure,the higher the hierarchical structure of the university system,and the lower the degree of digitization in the governance field.The more obvious the inhibitory effect of artificial intelligence on university governance,the less likely it is to replace/update(some)basic institutions and basic institutions it relies on,and the greater the possibility of assimilation,and the easier it is to rely on imitating the path of Western university system establishment.Therefore,on the one hand,it is necessary to pay attention to the positive effect of artificial intelligence on university governance,fully leverage its positive role in routine and(some)decision-making governance of universities,and promote the standardized and refined development of modern university systems through the continuous improvement and improvement of specific and basic university systems,on the other hand,it is also necessary to be vigilant about the potential dangers that artificial intelligence can bring to university governance,fully considering the organizational characteristics of modern universities,and avoiding excessive technicalization that leads to infinite expansion and disorderly generalization of technology applications in university governance.
