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｣
www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO...

「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。

"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。"
