The relationship between technology governance and legal governance is the latest thinking and expression of human beings on the rule of law in the intelligent technology society. Intelligent technology is widely used in the public sector and business scenarios, becoming “technology governance”. Countries around the world are exploring the relationship between technology governance and legal governance, striving to become the maker rather than the recipient of the rule of law in an intelligent society. In an intelligent society, technology governance and legal governance are bound to be embedded, implicated, shaped, and explained to each other. We not only need to sort out the embedding of technology governance in legal governance, but also clarify the naturalization and embedding of legal governance in technology governance. On the basis of exploring the inter-embedded relationship between technology governance and legal governance, this paper further explores all the relationship models covering both public and private scenarios. In the public scene, countries generally adopt the “enablement model”, while in the private scene, the “single model” and “dual model” are mainly adopted. Different models have different theoretical foundations and practical objectives. It is necessary to carry out theoretical traceability, practical observation, and comprehensive evaluation of various external relationship models in public and private scenes. This sort of “both internal and external cultivation” is to more deeply pursue the “Chinese choice” of the relationship between technology governance and legal governance, that is, in the public setting, China should choose a relational model that enables technology governance to empower legal governance, and in the private setting China should choose a “Hunran” matching model dominated by technology governance (new legal governance means) and supplemented by traditional legal governance means. On the basis of this relationship model structure, this paper explores the socialist rule of law theory and practice scheme with Chinese characteristics from the three dimensions of the refinement of the scene, optimization of technology governance and the synergy of traditional legal governance, so as to form China’s discourse power and theoretical self-confidence. |
