AI推荐让个人逛得更广,却让城市热门地更热门,加剧不平等。

The Urban Impact of AI: Modeling Feedback Loops in Next-Venue Recommendation

  • 构建人-算法反馈循环模拟框架,追踪推荐如何改变行为并反哺模型训练。
  • 推荐系统提升个人出行多样性,但集体层面使热门地点流量集中度上升。
  • 揭示推荐算法对城市空间公平性的影响,适合政策与设计者参考。

下一代地点推荐系统日益嵌入基于位置的服务中,影响着城市中的个体出行决策。尽管其预测准确性已被广泛研究,但对其在城市动态中的系统性影响关注较少。本文提出一个仿真框架,模拟下一家场所推荐背后的人类-人工智能反馈回路,捕捉算法建议如何影响个体行为,并反过来重塑用于模型再训练的数据。基于真实世界移动数据的模拟系统性探讨了不同推荐策略在算法采纳程度下的影响。研究发现,虽然推荐系统始终提升了个人访问地点的多样性,但可能同时加剧集体层面的不平等,使客流集中在少数热门场所。这种分化还延伸至社交共现网络结构,揭示了对城市可达性和空间隔离的更广泛影响。该框架实现了下一场所推荐中反馈回路的可操作化,为评估人工智能辅助出行的社会影响提供了新视角——提供一种计算工具,以预测未来风险、评估监管干预措施,并指导伦理化算法系统的设计。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Next-venue recommender systems are increasingly embedded in location-based services, shaping individual mobility decisions in urban environments. While their predictive accuracy has been extensively studied, less attention has been paid to their systemic impact on urban dynamics. In this work, we introduce a simulation framework to model the human-AI feedback loop underpinning next-venue recommendation, capturing how algorithmic suggestions influence individual behavior, which in turn reshapes the data used to retrain the models. Our simulations, grounded in real-world mobility data, systematically explore the effects of algorithmic adoption across a range of recommendation strategies. We find that while recommender systems consistently increase individual-level diversity in visited venues, they may simultaneously amplify collective inequality by concentrating visits on a limited subset of popular places. This divergence extends to the structure of social co-location networks, revealing broader implications for urban accessibility and spatial segregation. Our framework operationalizes the feedback loop in next-venue recommendation and offers a novel lens through which to assess the societal impact of AI-assisted mobility-providing a computational tool to anticipate future risks, evaluate regulatory interventions, and inform the design of ethic algorithmic systems.
