The Risks,Causes and Practical Strategies of Embedding Artificial Intelligence into Social Governance
In the context of promoting the new round of technological development and realizing further technological revolution,based on the theory of technology embedding,taking social governance as the research object,and starting from the perspective of embedding artificial intelligence into social governance,this paper finds that embedding artificial intelligence into social governance helps intelligent innovation,but results in as well potential risks such as the shift and subversion of social governance subjects,the imbalance and disorder of social values in the social governance process,and the rights and responsibilities blurred in social governance. The excessive reliance on artificial intelligence embedded in the process of social governance leads to a crisis of subjectivity,the domination of technological rationality causes a crisis of values,and the failure of traditional constraints leads to a crisis of regulations,which are important factors in the formation of social governance risks. To this end,we need to cultivate talents as the support to promote subjectivity,use technology as a means to highlight values,and strengthen the rule of law based on improving institutional guarantees. We aim to create a co-governance pattern of intelligent social governance,transform intelligent variables into governance increments,and effectively promote the realization of intelligent social governance. In the context of digital and intelligent governance,embedding artificial intelligence into social governance well requires further handling of the relationships between unlimited empowerment and limited applications,tool rationality and value rationality,technology abuse and power regulation,and data privacy and public interests.
