算法歧视及其规制研究

Research on Algorithm Discrimination and Its Regulation

随着大数据技术与人工智能的广泛运用,使得算法正逐渐渗透于人们的日常生活之中。算法不总是客观中立的,它可能会以算法歧视的方式损害公众基本权利与特定个体权益,同时破坏市场公平竞争秩序,进而引发相关主体权利的失衡。这些社会危机发生的根源在于算法的效率与效益价值取向导致触发算法歧视现象、算法运行基础数据误差导致算法输出歧视性结果以及算法黑箱导致算法透明度缺失。鉴于此,可以确立算法公正理念、明晰算法规制环节、建立算法权利平衡模式作为算法歧视的规制路径,以实现平等社会的数字化转型。

With the wide application of big data technology and artificial intelligence, algorithms are gradually penetrating into people’s daily life. The algorithm is not always objective and neutral. It may damage the basic rights of the public and the rights and interests of specific individuals in the form of algorithm discrimination. At the same time, it will destroy the fair competition order of the market, and then cause the imbalance of the rights of relevant subjects. The root causes of these social crises lie in the fact that the efficiency and benefit value orientation of the algorithm lead to the triggering of algorithm discrimination, the error of the basic data of the algorithm operation leads to the discriminatory output of the algorithm, and the black box of the algorithm leads to the lack of transparency of the algorithm. In view of this, we can establish the concept of algorithm justice, clarify the regulation links of algorithm, and establish the model of algorithm right balance as the regulation path of algorithm discrimination, so as to realize the digital transformation of an equal society.
