從倫理出發──探討我國自駕車人工智慧之治理

From Ethics to Regulation: Exploring the Governance of AI in Autonomous Vehicles in Taiwan

人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence,AI）時代來臨除將增加人類生活的便利性外，相對的伴隨著一定的科學不確定性及潛在風險；因此在研發與應用上除了以科技創新的精神作為基礎外，必須同時堅守倫理道德及法制的規範，進而架構AI發展的三大原則。而法律規範的制定，須先仰賴倫理價值的建立作其架構，延伸立法及政策方能有焦點性。易言之，在於AI科技的研究發展與應用上，相關法律規制仰賴AI倫理建立；核心價值須以「以人為本」、「永續發展」及「多元包容」三面項作為基礎，以促進人類福祉、生態環境資源平衡及永續發展；公平及消除歧視性為目標。德國及日本為現今世界汽車工業大國，兩國自駕車發展蓁於成熟，其自駕車倫理也深受國際關注，反觀我國迄今尚無符合自駕車實質上路的法律規範，鑑於德、日兩國以「倫理指引」牽動「立法工作」經驗，我國應儘速建立倫理指引，以因應自駕車的發展需求。

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings not only enhanced convenience but also scientific uncertainty and potential risks. Thus, beyond technological innovation, AI development must be grounded in ethical values and legal norms. Ethical principles serve as the foundation for constructing a coherent regulatory framework, allowing legislation and policy to be targeted and effective.
In the context of AI research and application, legal regulation depends on the prior establishment of AI ethics, centered on the principles of human-centricity, sustainability, and inclusiveness. These aim to promote human well-being, environmental balance, fairness, and the elimination of discrimination.
Germany and Japan, as global leaders in the automotive industry, have developed mature autonomous vehicle technologies and corresponding ethical frameworks that have influenced legislation. In contrast, Taiwan lacks substantive legal norms for autonomous vehicles. Drawing from the German and Japanese experience—where ethical guidelines inform legislative action—Taiwan should urgently establish its own ethical framework to address the regulatory challenges posed by autonomous vehicle development.
