在一系列社会背景下，算法在决策中的应用越来越多，这促使人们对算法问责制提出了要求。负责任的决策者必须为他们的决策主体提供自动化系统输出的理由，但是我们应该期望这种理由诉诸什么样的更广泛的原则呢？借鉴政治哲学，我提出了一个帐户的算法问责制的民主理想的“公共理性”。我认为，将算法问责制的要求置于这个合理的框架内，使我们能够更好地阐明其目的，并评估为实现这些目的所做的努力是否充分。
The ever-increasing application of algorithms to decision-making in a range of social contexts has prompted demands for algorithmic accountability. Accountable decision-makers must provide their decision-subjects with justifications for their automated system's outputs, but what kinds of broader principles should we expect such justifications to appeal to? Drawing from political philosophy, I present an account of algorithmic accountability in terms of the democratic ideal of 'public reason'. I argue that situating demands for algorithmic accountability within this justificatory framework enables us to better articulate their purpose and assess the adequacy of efforts toward them.
