论文摘要
多样性感知的平台设计是一种范式,可以应对现有社交媒体平台的道德挑战。可用的平台受到批评,以最大程度地减少用户的自治,边缘化少数群体和利用用户的数据以最大化。本文提出了一种设计解决方案,以用户的福祉为中心。它介绍了设计社会关系的多样性平台的理论和实践。在这种方法中,用户的多样性是通过允许志趣相投的个人追求相似兴趣或不同个人在复杂活动中相互补充的方式的方式。设想平台的最终用户是参加设计过程的学生。多样性感知的平台设计涉及许多步骤,其中两个步骤在本文中突出显示:1)定义一个框架并操作学生的“多样性”,2)收集“多样性”数据以构建多样性意识到的算法。该论文进一步反映了在多样性感知平台的设计期间遇到的道德挑战。
Diversity-aware platform design is a paradigm that responds to the ethical challenges of existing social media platforms. Available platforms have been criticized for minimizing users' autonomy, marginalizing minorities, and exploiting users' data for profit maximization. This paper presents a design solution that centers the well-being of users. It presents the theory and practice of designing a diversity-aware platform for social relations. In this approach, the diversity of users is leveraged in a way that allows like-minded individuals to pursue similar interests or diverse individuals to complement each other in a complex activity. The end users of the envisioned platform are students, who participate in the design process. Diversity-aware platform design involves numerous steps, of which two are highlighted in this paper: 1) defining a framework and operationalizing the "diversity" of students, 2) collecting "diversity" data to build diversity-aware algorithms. The paper further reflects on the ethical challenges encountered during the design of a diversity-aware platform.
