Abstract

The article addresses the issue of protection against discrimination in an artificialised world, shaped by automation, algorithms and artificial intelligence (ai) and interlinked with digitalisation. While traditionally advocacy against discrimination was based mainly on the call for specific anti-discrimination laws coupled with other actions, there is a more recent entry point in the form of personal data protection laws. These can help to safeguard privacy in relation to personal data which adds to protection against discrimination. However, the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression (covering data flows) must be balanced well in the process, and the article refers to recent experiences from various regions. The contribution of different stakeholders is essential. Options include regulation by the State, self-regulation by the business sector, co-regulation between a mix of governmental and business-related cooperation, due diligence measures, technical solutions, consumer-based initiatives, specific attention to vulnerabilities, checks and balances against abuse of power, and demonopolisation.

Microverse，Mezzoverse，Macroverse：在人工世界中保护免受歧视？

这篇文章探讨了在一个由自动化、算法和人工智能（ai）塑造并与数字化相互关联的人工世界中保护人们免受歧视的问题。虽然传统上反对歧视的宣传主要基于呼吁制定具体的反歧视法律以及其他行动，但最近有一个切入点，即个人数据保护法。这些措施有助于保护个人数据的隐私，从而增加对歧视的保护。然而，隐私权和言论自由权（包括数据流）必须在这一过程中得到很好的平衡，文章引用了各个地区最近的经验。不同利益攸关方的贡献至关重要。备选方案包括国家监管、商业部门自我监管、政府与企业合作的联合监管、尽职调查措施、技术解决方案、基于消费者的举措、对脆弱性的特别关注、对滥用权力的制衡以及取消垄断。
