讲座简介:

在线数字平台越来越依赖算法进行平台治理。本讲座研究了一个日益增长的算法应用领域:自主算法内容审核。用户生成内容(UGC)平台通常会部署复杂的算法来筛选用户上传的内容,以过滤掉低质量内容。通过分析一个大型在线问答(Q&A)社区中发生的自然实验,发现引入自主算法内容审核系统后,尽管用户贡献答案的数量显著减少,而但贡献答案的平均质量有所提高,这体现在收到的点赞数、认知语言的使用和文本可读性上。研究结果表明,实施自主算法审核系统对平台治理而言是一把双刃剑:一方面,算法内容审核的威慑力抑制了用户生成新内容的动力(即威慑效应);另一方面,用户会被激励投入更多精力来创作更高质量的内容(即替代效应)。还记录了用户反应的显著差异:在确实受到审核算法惩罚的用户中,只观察到了威慑效应,没有观察到替代效应,而在未受到审核算法惩罚的用户中,既观察到了威慑效应,也观察到了替代效应;此外,威慑效应并未显现在活跃度较低的用户群组内,在部署审核算法后,他们贡献内容的数量和质量均呈现出小幅增加。为进一步验证实证研究结果并为潜在机制提供直接证据,还进行了一项额外的在线实验。研究结果为使用算法进行自主平台治理的在线平台提供了重要启示。

Online digital platforms are increasingly relying on algorithms to perform platform governance. We study a growing application of algorithms in platform governance: autonomous algorithmic content moderation. Platforms thriving on user-generated content (UGC) commonly deploy sophisticated algorithms to screen content uploaded by users for the purpose of filtering out low-quality content. By exploiting a natural experiment occurred in a large online question-and-answer (Q&A) community, we find that the introduction of an autonomous algorithmic content moderation system significantly decreased the volumes of answers contributed by users, while the average quality of the contributed answers improved after the algorithm’s introduction, as reflected in the number of vote-ups received, usage of cognitive language and text readability. Our findings demonstrate that the implementation of autonomous algorithmic moderation system could be a double-edged sword for platform governance: on the one hand, the deterrence power of the algorithmic content moderation inhibits users’ incentives to generate new content (i.e., a deterrence effect); on the other hand, users are motivated to spend more efforts curating higher-quality content (i.e., a displacement effect). We also document significant heterogeneity in users’ responses: among users who were indeed punished by the moderation algorithm only the deterrence effect is observed but not the displacement effect, while among users who were not punished by the moderation algorithm both the deterrence and displacement effects are observed; moreover, less active users were not subject to the deterrence effect and both the volumes and quality of their content contributions showed a small but significant increase after the deployment of the moderation algorithm. An additional online experiment is conducted to corroborate the empirical findings and provide direct evidence of the underlying mechanisms. Our findings provide important implications for online platforms that use, or consider using, algorithms to perform autonomous platform governance.
