剖析算法城市如何重塑社会关系，挑战传统政治哲学根基
Lecture I: Governing the Algorithmic City
- 提出'算法城市'模型，分析算法中介社会关系的新形态
- 揭示算法治理带来权威合法性与中立性等新政治难题
- 适合关注科技与社会治理的学者及政策制定者阅读
一个世纪前，约翰·杜威指出：‘蒸汽与电力对人类交往条件的改变，超过此前所有影响人际关系的手段。’近几十年来，计算技术产生了类似影响。政治哲学的核心任务是帮助我们思考如何共处，通过分析社会关系、诊断其缺陷，并提出指导修正的理想。然而，这些深刻的社会变革几乎未在分析政治哲学所依赖的社会关系模型中留下痕迹。本文旨在扭转这一趋势：首先构建当下及未来可能的社会关系模型，再探讨其对共处理论的影响。文中引入‘算法城市’概念，即由算法中介的社会关系网络，并刻画其治理中的中介权力。研究显示，算法治理为政治哲学带来了新挑战，涉及权威正当性、程序合法性的基础，以及论证中立性的可能性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
A century ago, John Dewey observed that '[s]team and electricity have done more to alter the conditions under which men associate together than all the agencies which affected human relationships before our time'. In the last few decades, computing technologies have had a similar effect. Political philosophy's central task is to help us decide how to live together, by analysing our social relations, diagnosing their failings, and articulating ideals to guide their revision. But these profound social changes have left scarcely a dent in the model of social relations that (analytical) political philosophers assume. This essay aims to reverse that trend. It first builds a model of our novel social relations as they are now, and as they are likely to evolved, and then explores how those differences affect our theories of how to live together. I introduce the 'Algorithmic City', the network of algorithmically-mediated social relations, then characterise the intermediary power by which it is governed. I show how algorithmic governance raises new challenges for political philosophy concerning the justification of authority, the foundations of procedural legitimacy, and the possibility of justificatory neutrality.
