Abstract: Intelligentized governance is a new form of governance in the era of artificial intelligence and also represents a novel phase in mediatized governance. The increasing complexity of public issues and the growing sophistication of governance technologies are giving rise to a new paradigm of governance-intelligentized governance. From an “technology-society” interactive perspective, the operational mechanism of intelligentized governance includes the following aspects: at the level of actors, it broadly connects diverse agents, both human and non-human, thus weaving a co-governance network within the intelligent ecosystem; at the content level, it breaks down resource barriers to extract the deep value of data and information in a world where everything can act as a medium; at the method level, it streamlines and optimizes the cumbersome operational processes of traditional times through automated decision-making in administrative procedures; at the object level, it predicts target behaviors through statistical analysis and conducts assessments and early warnings for specific risks. Intelligentized governance faces challenges such as the formation of social and technological biases, the opaque operation of intangible algorithms in black boxes, and conflicts with the logic of public governance. These challenges need to be addressed through principles of publicness, agility, and digital good governance.

Key words: intelligentized governance, automatic decision-making, intelligent prediction, algorithm bias, mediatized governance
