Abstract

The rise of digital platforms creates knowledge monopolies that threaten innovation. Their power derives from the imposition of data obligations and persistent coupling on platform participation and their usurpation of the rights to data created by other participants to facilitate information asymmetries. Knowledge monopolies can use machine learning to develop competitive insights unavailable to every other platform participant. This information asymmetry stifles innovation, stokes the growth of the monopoly, and reinforces its ascendency. National or regional governance structures, such as laws and regulatory authorities, constrain economic monopolies deemed not in the public interest. We argue the need for legislation and an associated regulatory mechanism to curtail coercive data obligations, control, eliminate data rights exploitation, and prevent mergers and acquisitions that could create or extend knowledge monopolies.

知识垄断与创新鸿沟:治理视角
数字平台的兴起造成了威胁创新的知识垄断。他们的权力来源于强加数据义务和对平台参与的持续耦合,以及他们篡夺其他参与者创建的数据权利,以促进信息不对称。知识垄断企业可以利用机器学习来开发其他平台参与者无法获得的竞争洞察力。这种信息不对称抑制了创新,刺激了垄断的增长,并增强了其优势。国家或区域治理结构,如法律和监管机构,限制被认为不符合公共利益的经济垄断。我们认为,需要立法和相关的监管机制来减少强制性数据义务、控制、消除数据权利利用,并防止可能造成或扩大知识垄断的并购。

期刊介绍: Advances in information and communication technologies are associated with a wide and increasing range of social consequences, which are experienced by individuals, work groups, organizations, interorganizational networks, and societies at large. Information technologies are implicated in all industries and in public as well as private enterprises. Understanding the relationships between information technologies and social organization is an increasingly important and urgent social and scholarly concern in many disciplinary fields.Information and Organization seeks to publish original scholarly articles on the relationships between information technologies and social organization. It seeks a scholarly understanding that is based on empirical research and relevant theory.
