邁向「人造社會性」與台俄雙邊合作計畫

On the Way to“Artificial Sociality”and the Taiwan-Russia Joint Research Project

在日常生活中，人們已經無法脫離及忽視人工智慧科技的存在與影響。這些具有「智能（intelligence）」的科技物也進入到食衣住行育樂等領域，協助並影響人們的行為與行動。社會學探問的是「（社會）秩序如何可能？」的問題，而資訊社會的發展則讓這個問題越加複雜。Andrey Rezaev教授擅長於比較研究，從對社會不平等、社會階層到近年來的人工智慧科技等議題之探究，提出了「人造社會性」一詞，嘗試捕捉一個人機（人工智慧）互動的新社會性場景。在因緣際會之下，自2020年起，在國科會的計畫支持之下，台灣團隊有機會與Rezaev教授共同開啟一個三年期的跨國交流計畫，以人工智慧在醫療與健康產業的應用為例，進行跨國與跨文化的比較。在本訪談中，Rezaev教授即對該計畫，以及人文社會科學如何面對人工智慧科技應用等相關議題給予想法與建議。

In everyday life, people can no longer separate from or ignore the presence and influence of artificial intelligence technologies. These“intelligent”technologies have permeated areas such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and recreation, assisting and influencing people’s behavior and actions. Sociology asks the question of“how is (social) order possible?”and the development of the information society has made this question increasingly complex. Professor Andrey Rezaev is adept at comparative research, exploring topics from social inequality and social stratification to recent developments in artificial intelligence technologies. He proposed the term“artificial sociality”in an attempt to capture a new social scenario of human-machine (artificial intelligence) interaction. By a stroke of serendipity, since 2020, under the support of the National Science and Technology Council’s project, the Taiwanese team had the opportunity to embark on a three-year bilateral cooperation program with Professor Rezaev and his team, taking the application of artificial intelligence in the medical and health industries as an example for cross-national and cross-cultural comparison. In this interview, Professor Rezaev shared his thoughts and suggestions on this project, as well as how humanities and social sciences should face the applications of artificial intelligence technologies.
