数智时代青年数字劳动的异化逻辑与伦理出路——以算法推荐为切入点

The Alienation Logic and Ethical Solutions of Youth Digital Labor in the Digital Intelligence Era—A Study from the Perspective of Algorithmic Recommendation

摘要: 算法推荐已成为数智时代青年数字生活的基础设施。青年在短视频、游戏、社交等平台上的日常活动，经由算法推荐的中介，正在从休闲娱乐悄然转化为数据生产，形成一种“休闲即劳动”的数字劳动形态。本文以算法推荐为切入点，考察青年数字劳动的异化逻辑：算法通过注意力捕获、行为塑造与数据提取，使青年在“自愿”与“愉悦”的表象下，承受着劳动产品、劳动过程、类本质与人际关系四重异化，并陷入自我剥削与精神控制的双重困境。异化的根源，在于算法权力与数据所有权的不对称、知情同意的形式化以及工具理性对价值理性的压制。超越这一困境，须从算法伦理规制、平台责任明确、青年主体性重建与制度价值引导四个层面协同推进，以人本逻辑驾驭算法逻辑，实现青年数字劳动的健康发展与青年自身的全面发展。

Abstract: Algorithmic recommendation has become the infrastructure of youth digital life in the era of digital intelligence. Through the mediation of algorithmic recommendation, the daily activities of young people on platforms such as short videos, games, and social media are quietly transformed from leisure and entertainment into data production, forming a form of digital labor in which “leisure becomes labor”. Taking algorithmic recommendation as the entry point, this paper examines the alienation logic of youth digital labor. Through attention capture, behavior shaping, and data extraction, algorithms subject young people, under the guise of “voluntariness” and “pleasure”, to a fourfold alienation of labor products, labor process, species-being, and interpersonal relations, while trapping them in the dual predicament of self-exploitation and psychic control. The root of this alienation lies in the asymmetry between algorithmic power and data ownership, the formalization of informed consent, and the suppression of value rationality by instrumental rationality. To transcend this predicament, it is necessary to promote synergistic efforts in four dimensions, namely algorithmic ethical regulation, clarification of platform responsibility, reconstruction of youth subjectivity, and institutional value guidance, so as to harness algorithmic logic with humanistic logic, thereby realizing the healthy development of youth digital labor and the all-round development of young people themselves.
