China tightens algorithm governance to protect gig workers
The general offices of the Communist Party’s Central Committee and the State Council issued guidelines on Sunday to protect gig workers, including tighter oversight of internet platform algorithms. The guidelines urge platform operators to improve algorithm transparency and ensure workers have the right to know, participate in and choose algorithm rules. Platform operators must reasonably determine income distribution, pricing and estimated task durations by consulting trade unions and worker representatives. The rules also mandate regular audits, safety assessments and strict algorithm filings.
