The rapid development of digital and intelligent technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence has provided new carriers for enhancing the intelligent level of intra-Party supervision. How to better integrate digital and intelligent technologies into intra-Party supervision on the basis of risk prevention, how to empower the rectification of work styles and anti-corruption efforts with big data informatization, and how to fully leverage the unique advantages of digital and intelligent supervision to make it a new engine for improving the quality and efficiency of intra-Party supervision—these are practical issues that must be confronted and urgently resolved in the digital age.

大数据、云计算、人工智能等数智技术的迅猛发展,为提升党内监督智能化水平提供了新载体。如何在防范风险的基础上将数智技术更好地融入党内监督,以大数据信息化赋能正风反腐,充分发挥数智化监督的独特优势,使其成为提升党内监督质效的新引擎,是数智时代必须正视且迫切需要解决的现实课题。

Building a Digital and Intelligent Supervision Platform

搭建数智化监督平台

Applying digital and intelligent technologies to intra-Party supervision requires, first and foremost, the construction of a digital and intelligent platform. Through this platform, data models can be analyzed, and vast amounts of seemingly weakly correlated or even completely unrelated information fragments can be "stitched" into a large, meticulous information network, from which clues can be detected, thereby achieving proactive, timely, precise, and efficient supervision. This digital and intelligent supervision platform should include components such as an inspection and supervision platform, an evaluation and feedback platform, a risk early-warning platform, a problem-handling platform, and an information release platform, forming a complete chain. This will effectively aggregate data resources, and through process-oriented processing, promptly and accurately identify, analyze, and resolve problems, while simplifying supervision procedures, shortening verification times, and enhancing supervision efficiency.

将数智技术应用于党内监督,首要的是搭建数智化平台。通过这一平台,可以对数据模型进行分析,将海量的、看似关联性不强甚至毫不相关的信息碎片,“缝补”成一个硕大的、缜密的信息网,从中发现蛛丝马迹,从而实现主动监督、及时监督、精准监督、高效监督。这一数智化监督平台,应当包括监督检查平台、评估反馈平台、风险预警平台、问题处理平台、信息发布平台等在内,形成一个完整链条,以有效汇聚数据资源,并经过过程化处理,及时精准发现问题、分析问题、解决问题,并简化监督流程,缩短核查时间,提升监督效能。

Strengthening organizational guarantees. Building a digital and intelligent supervision platform requires comprehensive guarantees and investment in human resources, material resources, financial resources, security, and other aspects. It involves not only the collection and organization of traditional resources but also their digital technical processing—such as compression, storage, transmission, encryption, extraction, and integration—to form digital resources like simulated video, audio, and images. These digital resources are then scientifically analyzed through the digital and intelligent platform. All of this requires substantial financial investment, including the purchase of software and hardware, the introduction and training of specialized technical personnel, and the maintenance of the supervision platform in later stages. Therefore, platform construction cannot be separated from the overall coordination, planning, and promotion of Party committees.

加强组织保障。建设数智化监督平台,需要人力、物力、财力、安全等各方面的综合保障和投入,不仅需要对传统资源进行采集、整理,还需要对其进行压缩、存储、传输、加密、析取、集成等数字化技术处理,以形成模拟视频、音频、图片等数字化资源,再通过数智化平台,对这些数字资源进行科学分析等。这些都需要大量的资金投入,如软硬件的购买、专门技术人才的引进和培养、后期监督平台的维护等。因此,平台建设离不开党委的统筹协调和规划推进。

Breaking down data barriers. Phenomena such as information asymmetry and data barriers that exist in reality often lead to insufficient data in digital and intelligent supervision, causing supervisory bodies to fall into difficulties such as incomplete information and information lag. As a result, the basic functions of data information cannot be effectively utilized, making it difficult to form effective supervision over issues like the "four forms of decadence,"[1]1 The "four forms of decadence" (四风) refers to formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance, which were the target of a major Party rectification campaign launched in 2013. clean governance construction, and the exercise of power. Therefore, it is necessary to use technical means to build a supervision platform, construct an extensive information network, achieve data interconnection and intercommunication, and establish data channels. This digital and intelligent supervision model helps break down data silos, enabling supervision to transcend geographical and hierarchical limitations and to grasp relevant information in a timely and comprehensive manner.

打破数据壁垒。信息不对称、数据壁垒等现实中存在的现象,导致数智监督中经常出现数据不足的情形,使监督主体陷入信息不全、信息滞后等困境,从而不能有效发挥出数据信息的基本功能,难以形成对“四风”问题、廉政建设、权力运行等的有效监督。因此,有必要通过技术手段,搭建监督平台,构建四通八达的信息网络,形成数据的互通互联,构建数据通道。这种数智化监督模式,有助于打破数据孤岛,使监督不受地域、层级的限制,能够及时、全面地掌握相关信息。

Promoting platform integration. To promote the integration and coordination of various types of supervision, we should adhere to a holistic concept and systematic thinking, and purposefully integrate corresponding platforms. That is, resources from different platforms should be gathered together to form a comprehensive and shared large platform. The goal is to maximize the use of advantageous resources from each platform, thereby achieving unified management, resource sharing, efficient operation, improved efficiency, and cost reduction. In the process of clean governance supervision, discipline inspection and supervision organs can comprehensively integrate platforms from systems such as taxation, transportation, real estate, and finance, and analyze and assess relevant data information. This enables prevention before problems arise, moves supervision forward, and enhances the precision and efficiency of supervision.

抓好平台整合。推动各项监督融会贯通、统筹衔接,应坚持整体观念、系统思维,有针对性地对相应平台进行整合,即将处于不同平台的资源汇集到一起,整合成为一个具有综合性和共享性特征的大平台,其目的在于最大限度利用各个平台的优势资源,从而达到统一管理、资源共享、高效运营、提高效率、降低成本的目的。纪检监察机关在进行廉政监督的过程中,可以对税务、交通、房产、金融等系统的平台进行全面整合,并对相关数据信息进行分析研判,从而防患于未然,做到监督前置,提升监督精准化、高效化水平。

Improving the Digital and Intelligent Supervision Mechanism

健全数智化监督机制

Promoting the digitalization and intellectualization of supervision is a complex systematic project and an innovative undertaking. It requires a mechanism characterized by a complete system, coordinated linkage, and efficient operation as a guarantee. If the use of technology deviates from basic goals, leading to incidents that harm information security and personal privacy or cause leaks, it would betray the original intention of technological application. This requires, under the overall leadership of the Party, the construction of mechanisms that coordinate online and offline efforts and combine human work with machine work, comprehensively building mechanisms for supply guarantees, data collection, analysis and assessment, risk early warning, information feedback, problem handling, and information release. This ensures that digital and intelligent supervision is open, transparent, objective, fair, safe, orderly, timely, and efficient.

推进监督数智化是一项复杂的系统工程,也是一项创新工程,需要体系完善、协调联动、运行高效的机制作为保障。如果技术使用脱离了基本目标,出现了危害信息安全和个人隐私、泄密等事件,就背离了技术应用的初衷。这就要求在党的全面领导下,通过构建线上与线下相协同、人工与机器相配合的机制,全面构建供给保障、数据采集、研判评估、风险预警、信息反馈、问题处置、信息发布等机制,确保数智监督公开透明、客观公正、安全有序、及时高效。

On the one hand, formulate and introduce institutional norms for applying digital and intelligent technologies in supervision, and strengthen the institutional guarantees for technological application. The effective operation of digital and intelligent supervision requires massive amounts of reliable data as a basic support. To this end, discipline inspection and supervision organs should be institutionally empowered to obtain or share big data, enabling them to access relevant information in a timely manner and ensuring the legality of data sources. In this process, supervision over the use of digital and intelligent technologies by discipline inspection and supervision organs should be strengthened to prevent improper handling of data information and to address potential imbalances between technological application and supervision practice, and between digital use and disciplinary and legal logic. Therefore, corresponding provisions of intra-Party regulations should be further enriched and improved, operational codes of conduct for using big data in supervision should be formulated, the scope and boundaries of technological application should be clarified, procedural operations should be standardized, violations of regulations and discipline should be punished, and the standardized and orderly operation of digital and intelligent supervision should be ensured.

一方面,制定出台应用数智技术进行监督的制度规范,加强技术应用的制度保障。数智监督的有效运行,需要海量可靠数据作为基本支撑。为此,需要对纪检监察机关获得或共享大数据予以制度赋权,使其能够及时获得相关信息,并保证数据来源的合法性。在此过程中,应加强对纪检监察机关运用数智技术的监督,防止对数据信息的不当处理,解决技术应用与监督实践、数字运用与纪法逻辑间可能出现的不平衡。为此,应进一步充实完善党内法规的相应条款,制定具有可操作性的运用大数据进行监督的行为准则,厘清技术应用范围、边界,规范程序运行,惩治违规违纪行为,保障数智监督规范有序运行。

On the other hand, build a comprehensive, intelligent, convenient, safe, and orderly digital and intelligent supervision pattern under the unified leadership of Party committees, with coordinated planning by Party discipline inspection commissions and supervision commissions, and coordinated promotion by various supervisory bodies. Digital and intelligent supervision is not isolated. Only by continuously improving the supervision system, which takes intra-Party supervision as the leading force, specialized supervision as the backbone, grassroots supervision as the support, and the coordination and connection of various types of supervision as the guarantee, can the actual effectiveness of supervision be effectively enhanced. Technical elements should be standardizedly integrated into various types of supervision, using digital and intelligent supervision as a driver to promote the effective development of supervision work. Specifically, Party committees (leading Party groups) fulfill their comprehensive supervision responsibilities, ensuring that Party leadership runs through the entire process and all aspects of supervision. Discipline inspection and supervision organs formulate institutional regulations for collaboration and cooperation in various types of supervision, inspection, review, and investigation work, and improve mechanisms such as "group-group" coordinated supervision, "office-group" linked supervision, and "office-group-locality" joint case handling.[2]2 "Group" (组) refers to a discipline inspection and supervision group stationed in a specific department or institution; "office" (室) refers to an internal department of a discipline inspection commission or supervision commission; "locality" (地) refers to local discipline inspection and supervision organs. These terms describe mechanisms for coordinating supervision and case handling across different levels and units. By clarifying responsibilities and standardizing procedures, the overall connection of various types of supervision is promoted and normalized and institutionalized. With the coordination and connection of various types of supervision as the guarantee, the collaborative mechanisms between discipline inspection and supervision supervision and audit supervision, financial supervision, and statistical supervision should be deepened and expanded to better improve the quality and efficiency of supervision.

另一方面,构建党委统一领导、纪委监委统筹协调、各监督主体协同推进的全面贯通、智慧便捷、安全有序的数智化监督格局。数智监督不是孤立的,只有不断完善以党内监督为主导、专责监督为主干、基层监督为支撑、各类监督贯通协调为保障的监督体系,才能切实提高监督实效。应在各类监督中规范融入技术要素,以数智化监督为驱动,推动监督工作有效开展。具体而言,党委(党组)履行全面监督职责,确保党的领导贯穿监督全过程各方面。纪检监察机关制定在各类监督、检查、审查、调查工作中协作配合的制度规定,健全“组组”协同监督、“室组”联动监督、“室组地”联合办案机制等,通过明确职责、规范程序,促进各项监督统筹衔接,并实现常态化、制度化。以各类监督贯通协调为保障,深化拓展纪检监察监督与审计监督、财会监督、统计监督等协作配合机制,更好提升监督质效。

Enhancing the Digital and Intelligent Literacy of Supervisory Subjects

提升监督主体数智素养

The development of digital and intelligent technologies has driven the transformation of the form of intra-Party supervision from an experience-dependent type to one that values both experience and technology, and from passive post-event response to proactive pre-event action. Facing the digital and intelligent era characterized by the interconnection of all things, data-driven operations, the symbiosis of virtual and real, and human-computer interaction, it is crucial to enhance the digital and intelligent literacy of intra-Party supervisory subjects and strengthen their cognitive level and application ability regarding digital and intelligent technologies.

数智技术的发展,推动了党内监督形态由经验依赖型向经验与技术并重转变,由事后被动应对向事前主动作为转变。面对万物互联、数据驱动、虚实共生、人机交互的数智时代,提升党内监督主体的数智素养、强化其对数智技术的认知水平与应用能力至关重要。

Innovate supervision concepts and build an evaluation system. Thought is the precursor of action. With the accelerated iteration of digital and intelligent technologies, supervisory subjects must emancipate their minds, keep pace with the times, uphold fundamental principles and break new ground, especially by transforming traditional supervision thinking, fully recognizing the empowering effects of digital and intelligent technologies, and valuing the value and application of technology. At the same time, cadre training and assessment should be organically combined, the formulation of standards for digital and intelligent literacy assessment should be done well, and a scientific and complete assessment and incentive system should be gradually established. Attention should be paid to the application of cadre digital and intelligent literacy assessment results, combining them with comprehensive cadre evaluations, supervision and management, selection for excellence and awards, and appointment and promotion, to promote the effective development of digital and intelligent supervision work.

创新监督理念,构建考评体系。思想是行动的先导。随着数智技术的加速迭代,监督主体必须解放思想、与时俱进、守正创新,尤其是要转变传统的监督思维,充分认识数智技术的赋能效应,重视技术的价值与应用。同时,把干部培训与考核有机结合起来,做好数智素养评估标准制定工作,逐步健全科学完善的评估激励体系。注重干部数智素养考核结果的运用,将数智素养评估结果与干部的综合评价、监督管理、评优评先、提拔任用等相结合,推动数智监督工作有效开展。

Increase training efforts and enhance digital and intelligent literacy. The "National Cadre Education and Training Plan (2023-2027)" issued by the Central Committee of the CPC clearly states: "Strengthen training and learning in new knowledge and new skills such as information technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, new energy, and new materials, to broaden cadres' horizons." In cadre training, a clear problem-oriented approach should be adhered to, focusing on specific difficulties that need to be resolved in applying technology to intra-Party supervision, and targeted efforts should be made to increase cadre education and training. Relying on Party schools (administrative colleges) at all levels and cadre education and training institutions, training needs should be accurately identified, training design should be strengthened, the training curriculum system should be optimized, science and technology courses should be appropriately added, high-quality teachers should be selected and strengthened, and a variety of methods and approaches should be comprehensively used to carry out related practical skills training. This will arm the minds of supervisory subjects with digital thinking and enhance their digital and intelligent literacy and their ability to carry out work.

加大培训力度,提升数智素养。中共中央印发的《全国干部教育培训规划(2023-2027年)》明确指出,“加强信息技术、人工智能、生物技术、新能源、新材料等新知识新技能学习培训,开阔干部视野”。在干部培训中,应坚持鲜明的问题导向,聚焦将技术应用于党内监督中需要破解的具体难题,有针对性地加大干部教育培训力度。可以依托各级党校(行政学院)及干部教育培训机构等,把准培训需求,加强培训设计,优化培训课程体系,适当增设科技类课程,选优配强师资,综合运用多种方式方法开展与之相关的实战化技能培训,用数字化思维武装监督主体头脑,提升其数智素养以及开展工作的能力。
