Abstract:

Emerging as an irreversible global trend, open-source artificial intelligence (OSAI), represented by models such as DeepSeek, is breaking technological monopolies and advancing the democratization of intelligence. Within the complex ecology of OSAI, the code layer and the community layer are interwoven, jointly driving a shift in governance logic from unilateral intervention to reciprocal co-creation, from centralized control to pluralistic collaboration, and from pre-established rules to emergent orders. Ethics has become a value system that is constantly generated and evolved with practical feedback, whereas technology has become a dynamic system that reflects social expectations and embeds value preferences. The governance paradigm of OSAI exhibits a discernible trajectory characterized by value-driven development, multi-party co-construction, ethical negotiation, and technological symbiosis. The notion of “ethics–technology co-construction” not only offers a philosophical interpretation of human–technology coexistence but also anticipates the future logic of ethical order formation. It addresses contemporary aspirations for “AI for Good” and envisions a future of human–AI symbiosis, which is partially shaped by human intentionality, continuously guided by public values, and effectively supported by technological innovation.

Key words: ethics, AI, open-source, governance, co-construction
