算法歧视视域下妇女平等就业权的保护

Safeguarding Women's Equal Employment Rights in the Context of Algorithmic Discrimination

摘要: 本文以人工智能时代算法决策对妇女就业权益的影响为研究对象，聚焦算法性别歧视对妇女平等就业权的侵害问题。通过分析算法性别歧视的内涵界定与特征，揭示其与传统就业性别歧视在成因、影响范围及法律认定上的差异。当前在算法就业歧视领域面临认定标准模糊、归责原则不统一、举证责任分配不合理及责任主体缺位等法律困境，进而提出优化路径，包括厘清算法歧视的认定标准、明确归责原则、完善举证责任倒置制度及合理分配算法主体法律责任，以期为保障妇女平等就业权提供法律与实践层面的参考。

Abstract: This paper examines the impact of algorithmic decision-making in the era of artificial intelligence on women’s employment rights, focusing specifically on how algorithmic gender discrimination infringes upon women’s right to equal employment. By analyzing the definition and characteristics of algorithmic gender discrimination, it reveals the differences between such discrimination and traditional employment gender discrimination in terms of causes, scope of impact, and legal recognition. Currently, the field of algorithmic employment discrimination faces legal challenges such as ambiguous criteria for identifying discrimination, inconsistent principles of imputation, unreasonable allocation of the burden of proof, and the absence of accountable entities. Consequently, this paper proposes optimized pathways, including clarifying the criteria for identifying algorithmic discrimination, defining principles of imputation, improving the system of inverted burden of proof, and reasonably allocating legal responsibilities among algorithmic entities. The aim is to provide references at both legal and practical levels for safeguarding women’s right to equal employment.
