台湾のオードリー･タン氏｢分断回避へ、AIで相互理解を促進｣

「人と人との対話や関係の健全性を言語モデルで分析するなど、相互理解を促すシステム設計にAIを活用できる」

多様な意見をデジタル技術で可視化し、合意形成することで分断を避けられるとの考えを示しました。

日本の参議院選挙にも言及し「AIエンジニアの安野貴博氏が当選したことに注目している」と話しました。

It’s a pleasure sharing strategies with like-minded partners from the EU🇪🇺.

Gratitude for the Taiwan🇹🇼 visit to all members of the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield.

Broad listening can bridge the intergenerational divide & help strengthen resilience.

台湾オードリー・タン氏｢民主主義、デジタル技術でアップグレードを｣ - 日本経済新聞 台湾の唐鳳（オードリー・タン）初代デジタル発展相は22日、「GDS2025世界デジタルサミット」（日本経済新聞社主催）で講演した。権威主義の台頭により民主主義が世界的に危機にさらされていると指摘、「独裁政治にどうブレーキをかけるか。私たちはデジタルの未来を自由で平和なものにできるか運命を握っている」と述べた。タン氏はソーシャルメディアに個人の嗜好を強化するアルゴリズムが採用されるようになってい

タン氏はガチでえらい

テック系のひとがこれに踏み込むのがえらい

"タン氏はソーシャルメディアに個人の嗜好を強化するアルゴリズムが採用されるようになっていることがユーザー同士に疑念を抱かせ、社会の分断を呼ぶようになっていると強調した。「悪意ある人工知能（AI）の群が心理戦の媒体になっている」と述べ、デジタル技術を対立ではなく、異なる立場の人々の橋渡しを作るためのツールとして活用すべきだとの考えを示した。"

Building A Prosocial Media Ecosystem | NOEMA There’s never been a better time to make social media what it always should have been: a tool to strengthen rather than strip-mine the social fabric.

“Today is the most realistic moment since social media was born in the mid-2000s to make it the tool it always should have been — for it to strengthen rather than strip-mine the social fabric.”
