算法伦理的类型分析--基于“技术-伦理”框架

Types of algorithm ethics--Based on the“technology ethics”framework

算法伦理是近年来学界研究的热点,以往算法伦理研究主要聚焦内在进路和外在进路方面,然而二者都存在一定的理论困境。事实上,技术和伦理是驱动算法伦理发展的双重动力,借助算法技术与伦理之间的互补性,可以建立“技术-伦理”框架。运用该框架,可将算法伦理划分为低技术-弱伦理、高技术-弱伦理、低技术-强伦理、高技术-强伦理四种类型。分析这四种类型及其转化过程,一方面能对现有的算法伦理研究形成有益补充,另一方面能对算法伦理的发展提供解释,为推动算法伦理的发展提供参考。

Technological development and ethical needs are the dual driving forces driving ethical research in algorithms.Previous research on algorithmic ethics mainly focused on internal and external approaches.Both have inherent theoretical dilemmas.In fact,the complementarity between algorithmic technology and ethics,as well as the development of technology and ethical needs,can establish a"technology ethics"framework.With the help of this analytical framework,algorithm ethics can be divided into four types:low technology weak ethics,high technology weak ethics,weak technology strong ethics,and high technology strong ethics.These four types not only demonstrate the different stages of development of algorithmic ethics,but also demonstrate the actual evolution process of algorithmic ethics research.Analysis shows that introducing the interaction dimension between technology and ethics can form a beneficial supplement to existing research on algorithmic ethics,and has strong explanatory power for the development of algorithmic ethics.It can provide reference for promoting the development of algorithmic ethics.
