构建民主与可信AI的双向评估框架,辨析风险与机遇。

Aligning Trustworthy AI with Democracy: A Dual Taxonomy of Opportunities and Risks

  • 提出双分类体系:风险与正向贡献并重。
  • 聚焦透明度与社会福祉,贯穿所有风险类别。
  • 适合作为政策制定与技术设计的规范参考。

人工智能对民主治理既带来重大风险,也蕴含宝贵机遇。本文提出双重分类框架:一是评估人工智能对民主的威胁(AIRD),揭示其如何削弱自主性、公平性与信任等核心原则;二是识别人工智能对民主的积极贡献(AIPD),强调其在提升透明度、参与度、效率及基于证据的政策制定方面的潜力。该框架以欧盟可信人工智能伦理治理理念为基础,特别是欧盟高层专家小组提出的七大可信AI要求,将每类风险对应具体的缓解策略,依托欧盟监管与规范体系。分析强调透明度与社会福祉在各类风险中的普适重要性,并提供结构化视角,助力实现人工智能与民主价值的协同。论文融合民主理论与治理工具,为研究、监管与制度设计提供可操作的规范框架,推动技术发展与民主实践的衔接,为算法时代构建更具包容性、问责性与韧性的民主系统奠定基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses both significant risks and valuable opportunities for democratic governance. This paper introduces a dual taxonomy to evaluate AI's complex relationship with democracy: the AI Risks to Democracy (AIRD) taxonomy, which identifies how AI can undermine core democratic principles such as autonomy, fairness, and trust; and the AI's Positive Contributions to Democracy (AIPD) taxonomy, which highlights AI's potential to enhance transparency, participation, efficiency, and evidence-based policymaking. Grounded in the European Union's approach to ethical AI governance, and particularly the seven Trustworthy AI requirements proposed by the European Commission's High-Level Expert Group on AI, each identified risk is aligned with mitigation strategies based on EU regulatory and normative frameworks. Our analysis underscores the transversal importance of transparency and societal well-being across all risk categories and offers a structured lens for aligning AI systems with democratic values. By integrating democratic theory with practical governance tools, this paper offers a normative and actionable framework to guide research, regulation, and institutional design to support trustworthy, democratic AI. It provides scholars with a conceptual foundation to evaluate the democratic implications of AI, equips policymakers with structured criteria for ethical oversight, and helps technologists align system design with democratic principles. In doing so, it bridges the gap between ethical aspirations and operational realities, laying the groundwork for more inclusive, accountable, and resilient democratic systems in the algorithmic age.
