用控制理论构建可落地的AI社会责任框架
The Social Responsibility Stack: A Control-Theoretic Architecture for Governing Socio-Technical AI
- 将社会价值转化为系统全周期的约束与反馈机制
- 实现公平、自主性等指标的持续监控与强制执行
- 适合关注AI治理与工程落地的研究者与从业者
人工智能系统越来越多地应用于影响人类行为、机构决策和社会结果的领域。现有的负责任AI和治理努力虽提供重要规范原则,但往往缺乏贯穿系统生命周期的可执行工程机制。本文提出社会职责栈(SRS),一个六层架构框架,将社会价值作为显式约束、防护机制、行为接口、审计手段和治理流程嵌入AI系统。SRS将责任建模为对社会技术系统的闭环监督控制问题,整合设计期防护与运行时监控及制度监督。我们建立统一的约束型公式,引入安全边界与反馈解释,证明公平性、自主性、认知负担和解释质量可被持续监测与强制执行。在临床决策支持、协同自动驾驶车辆和公共部门系统中的案例研究展示了如何将规范目标转化为可操作的工程与运营控制。该框架连接伦理、控制理论与AI治理,为可问责、自适应、可审计的社会技术AI系统提供实践基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artificial intelligence systems are increasingly deployed in domains that shape human behaviour, institutional decision-making, and societal outcomes. Existing responsible AI and governance efforts provide important normative principles but often lack enforceable engineering mechanisms that operate throughout the system lifecycle. This paper introduces the Social Responsibility Stack (SRS), a six-layer architectural framework that embeds societal values into AI systems as explicit constraints, safeguards, behavioural interfaces, auditing mechanisms, and governance processes. SRS models responsibility as a closed-loop supervisory control problem over socio-technical systems, integrating design-time safeguards with runtime monitoring and institutional oversight. We develop a unified constraint-based formulation, introduce safety-envelope and feedback interpretations, and show how fairness, autonomy, cognitive burden, and explanation quality can be continuously monitored and enforced. Case studies in clinical decision support, cooperative autonomous vehicles, and public-sector systems illustrate how SRS translates normative objectives into actionable engineering and operational controls. The framework bridges ethics, control theory, and AI governance, providing a practical foundation for accountable, adaptive, and auditable socio-technical AI systems.
