算法社会中的三大法则

The Three Laws in the Algorithmic Society

我们正在从互联网时代飞速走向算法社会,这是一个由算法、机器人和人工智能体围绕社会和经济决策组成的社会。阿西莫夫三大定律具有一定的启发性,但仅适用于科幻小说。人类与机器人的关系,犹如布拉格魔像传说中的“拉比和魔像”。在算法社会中,规制的核心问题不是算法,而是使用算法的人,以及允许自己被算法支配的人。我们需要的不是阿西莫夫定律,而是控制和指导人类创造、设计及使用机器人、人工智能体和算法的法则。算法操作者是委托人及终端用户的信息受托人,算法操作者对公众负有责任,算法操作者负有不参与算法妨害的公共义务构成了算法社会中的三大法则。

We are rapidly moving from the Internet era to an algorithmic society,which is a society composed of algorithms,robots and artificial intelligence around social and economic decision-making.The three laws of Asimov are instructive,but they only apply to science fictions.The relationship between humans and robots is like that between "rabbi and golem" in the legend of the Prague Golem.In the algorithmic society,the core issue of regulation is not the algorithm,but the people who use the algorithm and the people who allow themselves to be dominated by the algorithm.What we need is not Asimov’s law,but the law that controls and guides the creation,design,and use of robots,artificial intelligence,and algorithms.The algorithm operator is the information fiduciary of the clients and the end-users;the algorithm operator is responsible for the public;and the algorithm operator has the public obligation not to participate in the algorithmic nuisance.These constitute the three laws in the algorithmic society.
