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 new challenges posed by artificial intelligence and digital technology to political philosophy, especially how current technology can reshape our public life, recognition patterns and power structures. The core reading text is Mathias Risse's "Political Theory of the Digital Age: Where Artificial Intelligence Might Take Us" (2023), whose proactive political philosophy must become a science and technology philosophy in the digital century, actively responding to how technology forms lifeworlds and public order. The "righteousness" of this course titled "AI and Righteousness" does not only refer to the construction of abstract theories, but focuses on how the various practical aspects of righteousness are adapted and challenged under the conditions of rapid development of digital and artificial intelligence technologies - such as democratic operation, knowledge acquisition and distribution, identity recognition and exclusion, and how public reason is built. Risse proposed "political philosophy in the world of digital life" is a tool that seeks to use political philosophy as a tool to respond to the new political and ethical problems brought by AI technology, and to enter the problem field of "justice" from a new practical orientation.
The first four weeks of the course will lay the theorem foundation to help students become familiar with the key concepts in political philosophy, including justice, public rationality, citizenship and intellectual power. Students will read the "Stanfer Philosophy Encyclopedia" and "The Encyclopedia of Chinese Literature and Philosophy" about righteousness, public reason, John Roles, and Mac Foucault, and understand the ideological resources cited in Risse's books. Starting the fifth week, we will study Risse's works chapter by chapter. The reading content covers the future of AI and democracy, intellectual rights, profound technology and false information ethical issues, fourth-generation human rights, data social status, and moral subjectivity in the AI era. Students will learn how to use political philosophy resources to respond to contemporary technical issues, and think about how public rationality and free society can be built and structured in "Digital Life 2.0/3.0".
The course emphasizes conceptual analysis and critical thinking, through introduction discussions, class reports and book work, encourages students to develop personal views, and links abstract theories with specific scientific and technological practices. The final report is equipped with oral briefing, individual discussions and book submission, etc., to help students cultivate research, oral and book expression skills.
