Abstract:

Responsible innovation is an important engine for balancing economic and social benefits and achieving sustainable development. It emphasizes that a wide range of stakeholders should be included in the innovation decision-making process to reduce the potential harm of emerging technologies. Multi-agent cooperation is a key element for responsible innovation. However, it is not clear how multi-agent can cooperate more effectively to promote responsible innovation. Based on the differential game theory, this paper discusses the responsible innovation behavior of enterprises, government, and the public under three cooperation mechanisms: enterprise-dominated, government traction, and deep collaboration, while simultaneously considering the influence of changes in technology and economy levels and social ethical satisfaction. The results show that the optimal strategy of responsible innovation is negatively correlated with cost coefficient and recession coefficient, and positively correlated with the sensitivity coefficient of science and technology economy and support coefficient. Moreover, the optimal strategies, optimal benefits, technology and economy levels and social ethical satisfaction of the three game parties are the highest under the deep collaboration mechanism. There is a threshold for the optimal strategy of the public, and when the threshold is exceeded, the strategy under the enterprise-dominated mechanism is more optimal. Furthermore, the three cooperation mechanisms have different promoting effects on responsible innovation. The enterprise-dominated mechanism can only slowly promote the responsible practice under the low level of responsible innovation, while the deep collaboration mechanism with the close integration of members can still significantly promote the cooperation among subjects and accelerate the process of responsible innovation on the basis of a high level of responsible innovation.

摘要：

责任式创新是平衡经济-社会效益、实现可持续发展的重要引擎，其强调要将广泛的利益攸关者纳入创新决策以减少新兴技术的潜在危害，其中多元主体合作是关键内容。然而，动态视角下，多主体以何种方式合作才能更有效地推进责任式创新还不明确。基于微分博弈理论，在同时考虑科技经济水平和社会伦理满足程度变化影响的基础上，探讨了企业主导、政府牵引和深度协作3种合作机制下，企业、政府和公众的责任式创新行为。研究发现：企业、政府和公众的责任式创新最优策略与成本系数、衰退系数负相关，与科技经济敏感系数、支撑系数正相关。在深度协作机制下，博弈三方的最优策略、最优收益、科技经济水平和社会伦理满足程度最高。公众的最优策略存在阈值，越过该阈值时企业主导机制下的策略更优。3种合作机制对责任式创新的促进作用不同，企业主导机制只有在责任式创新水平较低时能缓慢拉动主体间的负责任实践，成员紧密融合的深度协作机制能在责任式创新水平较高的基础上，仍以较大幅度推动主体间的合作，加快责任式创新进程。
