《纽约客》的凯尔·查伊卡谈人工智能如何接管我们的决策

据《纽约客》特约撰稿人凯尔·查伊卡说,风格、音乐、艺术和食物的 “相同性” 正变得越来越明显。查伊卡在他的新书《Filterworld:算法如何扁平化文化》中指出,将我们的注意力引向最适合数字平台的算法是罪魁祸首。这些算法出现在谷歌搜索、Facebook提要和在线广告中,它们导致了个人决策的减少。

Chayka希望人们了解这些力量如何塑造我们的品味,并停止允许计算机生成的公式来支配我们的体验和选择。“过滤器世界” 一词是指由算法创建的环境,这些算法会根据我们可能的消费量进行调整。Chayka解释说,这些算法根据参与度进行判断,从而增强了同质性。

查伊卡指出,算法的影响不仅限于YouTube、Spotify或Netflix等数字平台,还延伸到咖啡馆和餐馆等物理空间。随着我们的消费决策越来越多地转移到网上,物理空间已开始适应流行的在线美学。Chayka回忆起在世界各地的咖啡店里发现了同样的美感,其特点是回收的木制家具、菜单上的鳄梨吐司和拿铁艺术。

尽管信息的看门人一直存在,传统上以电视台、杂志和报纸的形式存在,但查伊卡警告说,使用算法作为新的看门人有其自身的问题。他认为,算法缺乏感情、创造力和人类灵魂,虽然它们被推销为提供个性化推荐,但它们通常会推广对平台最方便的内容。例如,Netflix调整节目和电影的缩略图以使其更具吸引力,操纵观众以为他们喜欢已经存在的内容。

查伊卡承认,探索算法使他质疑自己的品味,尤其是在电视中,因为他经常看推荐的内容,却不知道它是否真的能打动他。
