臺灣民主基金會今年初曾針對「人工智慧對民主治理是否利大於弊」主題,由人類學者擔任正方、AI擔任反方進行辯論。此次論壇進一步讓AI擔任審議桌長角色,帶領8名公民小組成員討論「校園能否使用手機」議題。
臺灣民主基金會今(10)日舉辦「AI審議:AI可以當桌長嗎?」國際論壇,基金會董事長、立法院長韓國瑜致詞表示,繼年初舉辦AI與人類辯論後,今天再舉行國際論壇,讓AI在審議討論過程中扮演「桌長」角色。他也幽默表示,立法院長的工作之一就是主持會議,如何讓不同立場的各黨團求同存異、協商簽字往往如「不可能的任務」,期待AI桌長表現,至於未來他的工作是否可能被AI取代,「讓我們拭目以待」。
民主基金會今天的論壇引入AI擔任帶領審議的「桌長」,分別是「若貓和」、「若貓陰」兩個角色,值得注意的是,在第一場次與中華民國無任所大使唐鳳對談、示範主持審議的「若貓和」模型,其實就是使用唐鳳的聲音當作TTS基礎。
韓國瑜致詞時表示,臺灣民主基金會今年初曾做過大膽嘗試,針對「人工智慧對民主治理是否利大於弊」主題,由人類學者擔任正方、AI擔任反方進行精彩辯論。此次論壇基金會更進一步,讓AI在審議過程中扮演引導者(facilitator)的「桌長」角色,帶領8名公民小組成員針對「校園能否使用手機」議題展開討論。他指出,AI桌長必須公正、公平地主持審議,讓每位參與者感受到尊重與平等,並即時整理大家的共識與分歧,讓討論更順暢,進而形成有意義的結論及行動方案。
談及主持會議的挑戰,韓國瑜有感而發地說,身為立法院長,他的核心工作之一就是主持會議,但在主持朝野協商時,如何讓抱持不同立場與堅持的各黨團求同存異,且最終都願意在協商結論上簽字,往往像是「不可能的任務」。因此,他非常期待觀察今天AI桌長在主持審議時的實際表現,並笑稱「我的工作未來是不是有可能被AI取代,讓我們拭目以待」。
面對人工智慧的發展與應用浪潮,韓國瑜認為這已是大勢所趨,也是人類必須面對的重大挑戰與機會。他引述「悲觀者永遠正確,樂觀者永遠前行」指出,臺灣民主基金會顯然是樂觀者,嘗試在民主治理各層面大膽創新、導入AI,開啟更多想像與可能性;他強調,成功當然不是一蹴可及,但只要走在前進的道路上,就不怕失敗。
代表外交部長林佳龍出席的常務次長葛葆萱致詞時則表示,本次論壇除了延續今年1月「人工智慧與民主」的討論基礎,更旨在推進由臺灣民主基金會發起的「全球地方民主倡議」(GILD),連結全球地方政府、議會及城市聯盟,迎向明年6月舉行的GILD首屆大會。他指出,透過AI同時擔任主持人與與談人,不僅能確保廣泛聲音被聽見,也能整理複雜論點、化解分歧,強化民主韌性,使審議式民主在地方治理中更切實可行。
葛葆萱進一步強調,地方政府最接近民眾,因此外交部正積極推動「次國家外交」(subnational diplomacy),盼超越傳統姊妹市交流,轉向地方政府聯盟間的合作,將地方創新引入民主價值鏈。這項倡議與「綜合外交」願景不謀而合,臺灣樂意結合民主價值與科技優勢,分享推動公民科技的經驗,促成地方政府、學術界與科技產業的夥伴關係,在全球民主社群中擔任關鍵夥伴。
