Empowerment and Tension: The Dual Effects and Institutional Adaptation of Embedding Intelligent Technology in Public Health Governance
摘要:
This paper proposes an analytical framework of “dual effects-structural mismatch” to investigate the empowerment mechanisms, tension manifestations, and underlying roots of embedding intelligent technology in public health governance. The study finds that intelligent technology empowers public health governance through datadriven approaches, intelligent analysis, and process reengineering, while simultaneously generating three inherent tensions: privacy erosion, algorithmic bias, and power shift. The root of these tensions lies in the structural mismatch between the logic of the technological system pursuing efficiency and the value logic of public governance adhering to fairness, transparency, and accountability. Based on these findings, this paper constructs a threedimensional adaptive framework of “technology governance-institutional construction-social collaboration” and proposes an institutional approach that includes embedding explainable algorithms, building resilient regulations, and promoting multistakeholder cogovernance, thereby providing theoretical support for smart public health governance.
