Since the dawn of this year, algorithms have progressively shed their veil of 'enigmatic technology', marking a significant acceleration in the push towards transparency. Platforms like Douyin, Meituan, and Xiaohongshu have ramped up their efforts to unlock the secrets of their algorithmic 'black boxes'. This unveiling process has gradually exposed some computational practices that defy common sense. The industry consensus is that regulating platform algorithms will be a pivotal task for internet companies in 2025. However, transparency in algorithms is a double-edged sword; while it serves as a crucial instrument in fostering the reformation of digital civilization, it also presents challenges to the business models of certain platforms. The majority of respondents underscored that the ethical application of internet algorithms, or 'technology for good', stands at the heart of resolving this issue.
