Guiding opinions on strengthening the comprehensive management of internet information service algorithms
In recent years, the Internet information service algorithm (hereinafter referred to as the "algorithm") has played an important role in accelerating the dissemination of Internet information, prospering the digital economy and promoting social development. At the same time, the unreasonable application of the algorithm has also affected the normal communication order, market order and social order, and brought challenges to safeguarding ideological security, social fairness and justice and the legitimate rights and interests of netizens. In order to thoroughly implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, manage and develop the application of algorithms, and comprehensively improve the comprehensive network governance capability, we now put forward the following opinions on strengthening the security governance of Internet information service algorithms.

(III) Main objectives
It will take about three years to gradually establish a comprehensive governance pattern of algorithm security with sound governance mechanism, perfect supervision system and standardized algorithm ecology.
— — The governance mechanism is sound. Formulate and improve the policies and regulations on algorithmic security governance of Internet information services. The main powers and responsibilities of algorithmic security governance are clear, and the governance structure operates efficiently, forming a governance mechanism with laws to follow, multiple synergies and multi-participation.
— — The supervision system is perfect. Innovatively construct and form a multi-dimensional integrated supervision system, such as algorithm security risk monitoring, algorithm security evaluation, scientific and technological ethics review, algorithm filing management and disposal of algorithm-related violations.
— — Ecological specification of algorithm. The algorithm orientation is correct, the positive energy is abundant, the application of the algorithm is fair and just, open and transparent, the development of the algorithm is safe and controllable, and the innovation is independent, effectively preventing the potential risks caused by the abuse of the algorithm.
Second, improve the algorithm security governance mechanism
(1) Strengthen algorithm governance norms. Improve the policies and regulations on algorithm security governance, speed up the formulation of algorithm management regulations, clarify the main body, scope, requirements and legal responsibilities of algorithm management, improve algorithm security governance measures, and formulate supporting documents such as standards and guidelines.
(2) Optimize the governance structure of the algorithm. Further clarify the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the government, enterprises, industry organizations and netizens in algorithm security governance, scientifically and rationally lay out the governance organizational structure, standardize the operation and connect with each other, and create a multi-governance situation of algorithm security that forms government supervision, enterprise responsibility, industry self-discipline and social supervision.
(3) Strengthen overall planning and coordinated governance. The network information department, together with the departments of propaganda, education, science and technology, industrial information, public security, culture and tourism, market supervision, radio and television, will establish a long-term mechanism of departmental coordination and linkage, perform supervisory duties, and jointly carry out the work of algorithm security governance.
(4) Strengthening the main responsibility of enterprises. Enterprises should establish an algorithm security responsibility system and a scientific and technological ethics review system, improve the organization of algorithm security management, strengthen risk prevention and control and hidden dangers investigation and management, and enhance the ability and level of responding to algorithm security emergencies. Enterprises should strengthen their sense of responsibility and take the main responsibility for the results of algorithm application.
(5) Strengthen the self-discipline of industry organizations. The Internet information service industry should strengthen industry self-discipline, actively carry out the popularization of algorithm science and technology, gradually set up the power of algorithm security governance, attract professionals, gather resources from various sources, undertake social responsibility of algorithm security governance, and provide strong support for algorithm security governance.

Carry out daily monitoring on the data usage, application scenarios, influence effects, etc. of the algorithm, perceive the information such as network communication trends, changes in market rules, and netizens’ behaviors brought about by the application of the algorithm, warn the hidden dangers such as irregularities, unfairness and injustice that may be caused by the application of the algorithm, and find out the security problems of the application of the algorithm.
(eight) actively carry out algorithm security assessment. Organize the establishment of a professional technical evaluation team, deeply analyze the mechanism of the algorithm, evaluate the defects and loopholes in the application of the algorithm design, deployment and use, judge the security risks such as ideology, social justice, morality and ethics caused by the application of the algorithm, and put forward targeted countermeasures.
(9) Advance the algorithm filing work in an orderly manner. Establish an algorithm filing system, sort out the basic situation of algorithm filing, improve the algorithm classification system, clarify the scope of algorithm filing, and carry out filing work in an orderly manner. Actively do a good job in filing guidance and help, actively announce the filing situation, and accept social supervision.
(ten) continue to promote the innovation of supervision mode. Continue to judge the new situation of technology development in the field of algorithms, promote the coordinated development of regulatory mode and algorithm technology, constantly improve, upgrade and innovate regulatory methods and governance measures, and prevent algorithm security risks caused by backward regulatory mode.
(eleven) to crack down on illegal acts. Efforts will be made to solve the algorithm security problems strongly reflected by netizens, and severely crack down on the illegal acts related to algorithms found in the work of algorithm monitoring, evaluation and filing, as well as reported and verified by netizens, and resolutely safeguard the algorithm security of Internet information services.
Fourth, promote the development of algorithm ecological norms
(12) Establish the correct orientation of the algorithm.
