摘要

摘要数据生成设备、传感器和应用程序的激增导致了前所未有的数字数据量。我们生活在一个数据化的时代,在这个时代,生活越来越多地被量化,并转化为私人或公共利益的智能。当负责任地使用时,这为公共利益提供了新的机会。数据的潜力在开放数据和数据协作提供的可能性中显而易见——这两个例子都表明,更广泛地获取数据可以带来积极的、往往是戏剧性的社会变革。然而,目前有三种关键的不对称形式限制了这种潜力,尤其是对于已经脆弱和边缘化的群体:数据不对称、信息不对称和机构不对称。这些不对称性在实践和心理意义上限制了人类的潜力,导致了被剥夺权力的感觉,并侵蚀了公众对技术的信任。现有的限制不对称的方法(如公开数据或同意)以及正在考虑的一些替代方案(数据所有权、集体所有权、个人信息管理系统)在充分应对当前挑战方面存在局限性。因此,需要一种新的数字自决原则和实践。DSD的研究和实践仍处于初级阶段。我们在这里概述的特征只是探索性的,还有很多工作要做,以便更好地了解什么有效,什么无效。我们建议需要一个新的研究框架或议程来探索DSD,以及它如何解决数据和社会中的不对称、不平衡和不平等问题,这些问题正在成为我们时代的关键公共政策挑战。

Operationalizing digital self-determination
Abstract A proliferation of data-generating devices, sensors, and applications has led to unprecedented amounts of digital data. We live in an era of datafication, one in which life is increasingly quantified and transformed into intelligence for private or public benefit. When used responsibly, this offers new opportunities for public good. The potential of data is evident in the possibilities offered by open data and data collaboratives—both instances of how wider access to data can lead to positive and often dramatic social transformation. However, three key forms of asymmetry currently limit this potential, especially for already vulnerable and marginalized groups: data asymmetries, information asymmetries, and agency asymmetries. These asymmetries limit human potential, both in a practical and psychological sense, leading to feelings of disempowerment and eroding public trust in technology. Existing methods to limit asymmetries (such as open data or consent) as well as some alternatives under consideration (data ownership, collective ownership, personal information management systems) have limitations to adequately address the challenges at hand. A new principle and practice of digital self-determination (DSD) is therefore required. The study and practice of DSD remain in its infancy. The characteristics we have outlined here are only exploratory, and much work remains to be done so as to better understand what works and what does not. We suggest the need for a new research framework or agenda to explore DSD and how it can address the asymmetries, imbalances, and inequalities—both in data and society more generally—that are emerging as key public policy challenges of our era.
