摘要

科学研究越来越依赖于数字平台提供的“微工作”或“众包”来收集新数据。数字平台连接客户和员工,根据服务条款协议对算法管理的工作流程收取费用。尽管这些平台提供了谋生或补充其他收入来源的途径,但微工缺乏基本的劳动权利和基本的安全工作条件,尤其是在全球南方国家。我们询问研究人员和研究机构如何解决将微工作者视为“人类参与者”所涉及的伦理问题。我们认为,目前的科学研究未能像对待真人参与者那样对待微工作者,从而产生了事实上的双重道德:一种适用于拥有国家和国际机构承认的权利的人(例如,赫尔辛基宣言),另一种适用于几乎没有任何权利的数字专制国家的客工。我们通过对西班牙语国家的57位微型工作者的采访来说明我们的论点。

Research Ethics in the Age of Digital Platforms.

Research Ethics in the Age of Digital Platforms.

Scientific research is growingly increasingly reliant on "microwork" or "crowdsourcing" provided by digital platforms to collect new data. Digital platforms connect clients and workers, charging a fee for an algorithmically managed workflow based on Terms of Service agreements. Although these platforms offer a way to make a living or complement other sources of income, microworkers lack fundamental labor rights and basic safe working conditions, especially in the Global South. We ask how researchers and research institutions address the ethical issues involved in considering microworkers as "human participants." We argue that current scientific research fails to treat microworkers in the same way as in-person human participants, producing de facto a double morality: one applied to people with rights acknowledged by states and international bodies (e.g., the Helsinki Declaration), the other to guest workers of digital autocracies who have almost no rights at all. We illustrate our argument by drawing on 57 interviews conducted with microworkers in Spanish-speaking countries.

期刊介绍: Science and Engineering Ethics is an international multidisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring ethical issues associated with science and engineering, covering professional education, research and practice as well as the effects of technological innovations and research findings on society. While the focus of this journal is on science and engineering, contributions from a broad range of disciplines, including social sciences and humanities, are welcomed. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, ethics of new and emerging technologies, research ethics, computer ethics, energy ethics, animals and human subjects ethics, ethics education in science and engineering, ethics in design, biomedical ethics, values in technology and innovation. We welcome contributions that deal with these issues from an international perspective, particularly from countries that are underrepresented in these discussions.
