Assessing behavioral data science privacy issues in government artificial intelligence deployment

In today's global culture where the Internet has established itself as the main tool for communication and commerce, the capability to massively analyze and predict citizens' behavior has become a priority for governments in terms of collective intelligence and security. At the same time, in the context of novel possibilities that artificial intelligence (AI) brings to governments in terms of understanding and developing collective behavior analysis, important concerns related to citizens' privacy have emerged. In order to identify the main uses that governments make of AI and to define citizens' concerns about their privacy, in the present study, we undertook a systematic review of the literature, conducted in-depth interviews, and applied data-mining techniques. Based on our results, we classified and discussed the risks to citizens' privacy according to the types of AI strategies used by governments that may affect collective behavior and cause massive behavior modification. Our results revealed 11 uses of AI strategies used by the government to improve their interaction with citizens, organizations in cities, services provided by public institutions or the economy, among other areas. In relation to citizens' privacy when AI is used by governments, we identified 8 topics related to human behavior predictions, intelligence decision making, decision automation, digital surveillance, data privacy law and regulation, and the risk of behavior modification. The paper concludes with a discussion of the development of regulations focused on the ethical design of citizen data collection, where implications for governments are presented aimed at regulating security, ethics, and data privacy. Additionally, we propose a research agenda composed by 16 research questions to be investigated in further research.

参照已有相关研究构建修正后的师范院校基础研究竞争力指数和学科基础研究竞争力指数,并分别根据指数值划分相应的5个梯次级别,采用2015-2019年我国25所师范院校获得国家自然科学基金面上项目资助有关数据,分析其基础研究竞争力.研究结果显示:25所师范院校获得国家自然科学基金面上项目的平均资助率高于全国平均水平,但是各院...     

科研项目经费使用“包干制”政策研究——基于国家杰出青年科学基金试点工作总结

创造性的科研工作是促进国家科技发展的核心,推动新时代科研人员心无旁骛地开展探索性科研活动是新形势下国家发展的必然要求。为赋予科研人员更大的经费使用自主权,国家自然科学基金委员会按照政府工作报告要求,在广泛调研、充分论证的基础上,在国家杰出青年科学基金中率先启动经费使用“包干制”试点工作并积极推动落实。本文通过问卷调研的方式,收集试点过程中一手数据资料,及时了解政策改革推进情况,掌握改革成效,系统分析“包干制”政策落实中存在的问题。立足科研活动全链条,为经费使用“包干制”政策改进和实施提出建议,为推动赋予科研人员更大经费使用自主权相关政策的制定和优化提供经验和决策依据。
