Social Scoring: Opportunities and Threats for Contemporary Society Using the Example of the People's Republic of China

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyse the social assessment system in the context of its potential opportunities and threats, with particular reference to the example of the People's Republic of China. The study is based on an analysis of the literature and legislation governing the use of artificial intelligence systems in the European Union and internationally. The paper outlines the mechanism of the social rating system, its impact on social stratification, and its ethical and legal implications. The analysis also covers the Chinese Social Credit System, its structure, functioning and consequences for citizens, indicating its impact on social and economic life. Conclusions show these systems can deepen inequalities and violate rights, stressing the need for strong regulation.
