AI 能够为咨询顾问在数转政策洞察方面提供多方面的赋能:
然而,在运用 AI 时也需注意:
AGI将对政治领导者和治理模式带来双重影响。一方面,政治决策过程可能越来越多地借助AI的分析和建议。政府已有尝试使用AI处理数据、模拟政策效果等。在AGI时代,领导人可以咨询几乎无所不知的AI顾问,获得全面且即时的政策选项评估。这可能提升决策质量和效率,使政策更加科学数据驱动。然而,另一方面,这也要求领导者拥有足够的智慧和勇气来运用但不盲从AI。理想的状态是领导人与AGI形成**“增强治理”关系:AI提供信息与备选方案,人类结合价值判断和人情冷暖做最终抉择[jrf.org.uk](https://www.jrf.org.uk/ai-for-public-good/will-ai-replace-policymakers#:~:text=By%20focusing%20on%20augmentation%20rather,safer%20but%20also%20more%20advantageous)。换言之,AI应当被视为辅佐决策的工具,而非替代决策者本身。正如一份公共政策报告所言,“AI不应取代政策制定者,而应负责任地增强他们的智能”**。因此,未来的政治领袖需要具备新的素质:理解AI的基本原理、识别算法偏见和局限的能力、跨学科的知识,以及最重要的,对人类价值的坚守。这将考验领导者的学习能力和适应力。一些领域的技术型官员可能更加吃香,因为他们能更有效地与AI团队合作。政治领导者也必须在大众面前解释AI决策,为AI的参与背书,确保民主过程的透明度和问责。比如,如果政府采用AGI建议调整经济政策,领导者应向公众说明AI依据的数据和模型,同时承担成败责任,不能把错误简单归咎于“是电脑的决定”。这实际上给领导者提出更高要求:既要善用AI,又不能成为AI的傀儡。
1.78.Government,in fulfilling the regulatory central functions and overseeing the framework,will benefit from engaging external expertise to gather insights and advice from experts in industry,academia and civil society.The AI Council has been an important source of expertise over the last three years,advising government on the development of the National AI Strategy as well as our approach to AI governance.As we enter a new phase we will review the role of the AI Council and consider how best to engage expertise to support the implementation of the regulatory framework.2.79.As the regulatory framework evolves and we develop a clearer understanding of the systemlevel functions that are needed,we will review the operational model outlined above.In123 AI and Digital Regulations Service,Care Quality Commission,Health Research Authority,Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency,National Institute for Health and Care Excellence,2023.124 Enabling innovation–piloting a multi-agency advice service for digital innovators,Regulators’Pioneer Fund,2022(an ICO-led project).54A pro-innovation approach to AI regulationparticular,we will consider if a government unit is the most appropriate mechanism for delivering the central functions in the longer term or if an independent body would be more effective.Consultation questions:1.18.Do you agree that regulators are best placed to apply the principles and government is best placed to provide oversight and deliver central functions?
91.We recognise that industry,academia,research organisations and global partners are looking for ways to address the challenges related to the regulation of foundation models.129 For example,we know that developers of foundation models are exploring ways to embed alignment theory into their models.This is an important area of research,and government will need to work closely with the AI research community to leverage insights and inform our iteration of the regulatory framework.Our collaborative,adaptable framework will draw on the expertise of those researchers and other stakeholders as we continue to develop policy in this evolving area.92.The UK is committed to building its capabilities in foundation models.Our Foundation Model Taskforce announced in the Integrated Review Refresh 2023130 will support government to build UK capability and ensure the UK harnesses the benefits presented by this emerging technology.
