本課程聚焦於人工智慧與數位技術對政治哲學提出的新挑戰，尤其是當前技術如何重塑我們的公共生活、認識型態與權力結構。核心閱讀文本為 Mathias Risse 的《Political Theory of the Digital Age: Where Artificial Intelligence Might Take Us》（2023），其主張政治哲學在數位世紀中必須成為一種科技哲學，主動回應技術如何形構人類生活世界（lifeworlds）與公共秩序。本課程名稱「AI與正義」的「正義」，並非僅指抽象理論的建構，而是關注在數位與人工智慧技術快速發展的條件下，正義的各項實踐面向——如民主的運作、知識的取得與分配、身分的承認與排除、以及公共理性如何維繫——如何被改寫與挑戰。Risse 所提出的「數位生命世界中的政治哲學」正是嘗試以政治哲學為工具，回應 AI 技術所帶來的新型政治與倫理難題，從一種新的實踐取向切入「正義」的問題域。
課程前四週將奠定理論基礎，幫助學生熟悉政治哲學中關鍵概念，包括正義、公共理性、公民身份與知識權力等。學生將閱讀《史丹佛哲學百科》與《華文哲學百科》中關於正義、公共理性、約翰.羅爾斯、麥克.傅柯等條目，理解 Risse 書中所引用的思想資源。第五週起，我們將逐章研讀Risse著作。閱讀內容涵蓋AI與民主的未來、知識權利、深偽技術與虛假資訊的倫理問題、第四代人權、數據的社會地位、以及 AI 時代的道德主體性等議題。學生將學習如何運用政治哲學資源回應當代技術議題，並思考公共理性與自由社會如何在「數位生命 2.0／3.0」中維繫與重構。
課程強調概念分析與批判思維，透過引導討論、課堂報告與書面作業，鼓勵學生發展個人觀點，並將抽象理論與具體科技實踐相連結。期末報告設有口頭簡報、個別討論與書面繳交等階段，協助學生培養研究、口頭與書面的表達能力。(ChatGPT, personal communication, June 9, 2025)

This course focuses on the new challenges posed by artificial intelligence and digital technology to political philosophy, especially how current technologies are reshaping our public life, cognition, and power structures. The core reading text is "Political Theory of the Digital Age: Where Artificial Intelligence Might Take Us" (2023) by Mathias Risse, which advocates that political philosophy must become a philosophy of technology in the digital century, actively responding to how technology shapes human lifeworlds and public order. The "justice" in the title of this course "AI and Justice" does not only refer to the construction of abstract theories, but focuses on how various practical aspects of justice—such as the operation of democracy, the acquisition and distribution of knowledge, the recognition and exclusion of identity, and how public rationality is maintained—are rewritten and challenged under the conditions of rapid development of digital and artificial intelligence technologies. The "Political Philosophy in the Digital Life World" proposed by Risse is an attempt to use political philosophy as a tool to respond to the new political and ethical problems brought about by AI technology, and to approach the issue of "justice" from a new practical orientation.
The first four weeks of the course will lay a theoretical foundation and help students become familiar with key concepts in political philosophy, including justice, public reason, citizenship and intellectual power. Students will read entries on justice, public reason, John Rawls, Michel Foucault, etc. in the "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy" and "Chinese Encyclopedia of Philosophy" to understand the ideological resources cited in Risse's book. Starting from the fifth week, we will study Risse's works chapter by chapter. The reading content covers topics such as AI and the future of democracy, intellectual rights, ethical issues of deepfake technology and false information, fourth-generation human rights, the social status of data, and moral subjectivity in the AI ​​era. Students will learn how to use political philosophy resources to respond to contemporary technological issues, and think about how public reason and free society can be maintained and reconstructed in "Digital Life 2.0/3.0".
The course emphasizes conceptual analysis and critical thinking. Through guided discussions, class reports and written assignments, students are encouraged to develop personal perspectives and connect abstract theory with concrete scientific and technological practice. The final report consists of oral presentations, individual discussions and written submissions to help students develop their research, oral and written expression skills.
