ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of digital technology, algorithm decision-making is widely infiltrated in various fields, which not only improves efficiency, but also gives rise to a series of complex legal problems. This article focuses on exploring the legal regulation path of algorithm decision-making and the reconstruction strategy of responsibility structure under the background of digital governance. Traditional legal norms and responsibility structure are difficult to adapt to the complexity and uniqueness of algorithmic decision-making. Based on this, this article puts forward a multi-dimensional response plan. On one hand, it is essential to improve the legal and regulatory framework by clearly defining the rights and obligations of key stakeholders, including algorithm developers, data providers, and algorithm users, in areas such as algorithm design, data supply, and application. On the other hand, oversight mechanisms should be strengthened by establishing specialized regulatory bodies, implementing dynamic supervision, and encouraging public participation in monitoring. At the same time, the structure of accountability must be redefined, with responsibilities scientifically allocated based on different scenarios, thereby fostering a fair and reasonable mechanism for the distribution of accountability. With the help of these measures, it is expected to effectively deal with the legal dilemma of algorithmic decision-making and create a standardized and orderly legal environment for algorithmic decision-making.
