AI 是否正在重寫「自由」的邊界？
——從隱私權到監控社會的制度轉向 2026 年大選議題系列 · 第 11 篇 在民主社會中，「自由」長期被理解為一種不被干預的狀態。只要行為沒有違法，個人便被默認可以自行選擇生活方式、行動路徑與價值偏好。 這種理解方式，塑造了我們對自由的直覺：自由是一條清楚的界線，界線之內屬於個人，界線之外才屬於國家。 人工智慧的擴張，並未直接推翻這套制度，卻正在讓這條界線變得不再清楚，甚至不再可見。

政府是否還能「管得動」AI？
——當治理能力開始落後於技術速度 2026 年大選議題系列 · 第 10 篇 在現代國家中，治理能力從來不只是提出政策目標或表達政治立場，而是能否將抽象原則轉化為可執行、可持續的制度安排。無論是金融監理、食品安全，或公共衛生，真正有效的治理，仰賴的始終是同一件事：規則是否能跟上現實變化。 人工智慧的快速擴張，正在對這項能力提出前所未有的挑戰。問題不在於政府是否意識到 AI 的重要性，而在於一個更根本、也更尖銳的問題：當技術演進的速度長期快於制度更新，國家是否仍然具備治理能力本身？
政府还能不能“管得动”AI？
——当治理能力开始落后于技术速度 2026 年大选议题系列 · 第 10 篇 现代国家的治理能力，从来不只是提出目标或表态立场，而是能否把抽象原则转化为可执行、可持续的制度安排。无论是金融监管、食品安全，还是公共卫生，真正有效的治理，依赖的都是同一件事：规则能否跟得上现实变化。 人工智能的快速扩张，正在对这一能力提出前所未有的挑战。问题并不在于政府是否意识到 AI 的重要性，而在于一个更根本、也更尖锐的问题：当技术的演进速度持续快于制度更新，国家是否仍然具备治理能力本身？
