Abstract:

In advancing the modernization of national governance, power supervision serves as a crucial mechanism for maintaining a sound political ecosystem. The deep coupling of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology can reshape the operational logic of power supervision at the technical foundation and build a new digital-supervision model characterized by trustworthiness, intelligence and traceability. Drawing on its features of decentralization, tamper-resistance, transparency, traceability and smart contracts, blockchain establishes a trusted foundation for the exercise of power, while AI endows supervision with intelligent capabilities through intelligent verification, anomaly early-warning and multi-dimensional correlation analysis. The two technologies generate synergistic empowering effects at three levels: information transparency and source verification, real-time monitoring and anomaly early-warning, and evidence consolidation and precise accountability. To implement this model in practice, a coordinated tripartite advancement path should be constructed covering the data-management platform, whole-process traceability system, and leadership and working mechanisms. Building an artificial-intelligence-plus-blockchain data-management platform constitutes the fundamental premise to supply high-quality and trustworthy data for supervision. Constructing a technology-integrated whole-process traceability system acts as a key lever to realize full-chain dynamic monitoring of power-related conduct and retrospective accountability. Improving corresponding leadership systems and working mechanisms provides an important guarantee for reconciling technological innovation and institutional adaptation. These three pathways progress sequentially and interlock closely. They jointly facilitate the effective operation of the long-term mechanism ensuring officials dare not, cannot and have no desire to engage in corruption, and provide solid support for improving the quality and effectiveness of power supervision.
