算法的政治审视:逻辑、风险与规制

Political scrutiny of algorithms:Logic,risk and regulation

伴随着算法技术的快速发展,算法与政治的嵌合程度也日益加深。算法在为政治赋能的同时,逐渐开始攫取政治领域的话语权,演化为带有价值性判断和选择功能的政治性算法。在维持秩序与稳定、探索问题解决机制、生命价值选择等方面,算法与政治的融合是社会系统互动和政治需求的结果。然而,算法与政治的融合充斥着机器秩序和人性秩序的价值冲突,数据独裁的潜在风险也容易造成公平陷阱。为了避免机器秩序对社会秩序的掌控,人类的政治活动需要人性秩序对机器秩序的辖制,并划定算法权力介入公共政治的现实边界。

With the rapid development of algorithm technology,the degree of integration bet-ween algorithms and politics is increasingly deepening.As algorithms empower politics,they gradually begin to seize the discourse power in the political field,evolving into political algorithms with value judgment and selection functions.The integration of algorithms and politics is the result of social system interaction and political needs in maintaining order and stability,problem-solving mechanisms,and life value choices.However,the integration of algorithms and politics is fraught with value conflicts between machine order and human order,and the potential risks of data dic-tatorship can easily lead to fairness traps.In order to avoid the domination of machine order over social order,human political activities require the control of human order over machine order and the delineation of the realistic boundaries of algorithmic power intervention in public politics.
