摘要

本文强调了当我们求助于有望改善法律不完善治理的新工具时所面临的两难境地。一方面,我们对法律治理的不满既广泛又深刻,其中大部分源于法律事业的人性。然而,我们仍然坚持法律治理本质上的人性。另一方面,我们认识到技术治理的潜在益处,但也不能不考虑人的因素。在这两难的抉择中,我们试图限制人的因素的丧失,坚持认为治理必须与人权或人的尊严相一致,或者更直接地说,治理必须限制技术的应用,使其始终以人为本。鉴于以人为本的技术应用需求,我们考虑人类在部署新工具以改善法律不完善的治理方面可以走多远,应该走多远。这些工具是否应仅限于辅助人类?或者,它们是否可以取代人类?或者,我们甚至可以通过对场所、产品和流程的技术管理来进行治理,从而减少对人类和规则的依赖?结论是,在所有治理领域和所有人类社会中,有一点是至关重要的,那就是对新技术的应用加以控制,使其不会破坏有生存能力的人类代理群体所预设的一般条件。

Law, Technology, and Our Governance Dilemma
This article highlights a dilemma that we face when we turn to new tools that promise to improve on law’s imperfect governance. On the one hand, our discontent with law’s governance is both broad and deep, and much of it is rooted in the human nature of the legal enterprise. Yet, we remain attached to the essentially human nature of law’s governance. On the other hand, we recognise the potential benefits in technological governance but not without some displacement of the human element. Caught on the horns of this dilemma, we attempt to limit the loss of the human element by insisting that governance must be compatible with human rights or human dignity, or, more directly, that governance must limit the applications of technology so that they remain human-centric. Given a demand for human-centric applications of technologies, we consider how far humans might, and should, go in deploying new tools with a view to improving law’s imperfect governance. Should these tools be limited to assisting humans? Or, might they replace humans? Or might we even govern by technological management of places, products, and processes so that reliance on both humans and rules is reduced? It is concluded that, in all spheres of governance and in all human communities, the one thing that is essential is that the applications of new technologies are controlled so that they do not undermine the generic conditions which are presupposed by viable groups of human agents.
