算法推荐带来“信息茧房” 视野受限、认知固化 如何“破茧”？

Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of information technology and algorithmic recommendations has led to the phenomenon of "information cocoon," where users are limited to homogeneous information, restricting their perspectives and solidifying their cognition [1][3]. Group 1: Algorithmic Recommendations - Algorithms serve as personalized "assistants," providing users with tailored content based on their preferences, which enhances user experience [2][4]. - However, there is a risk of "abuse" of algorithms, leading to a narrow view of the world as users are repeatedly exposed to similar content [4][6]. Group 2: Impact on Different Demographics - Different demographic groups experience the effects of the "information cocoon" differently, with older adults being more susceptible due to their limited familiarity with internet operations and information filtering capabilities [7]. Group 3: Implications for Social Discourse - The existence of "information cocoons" is detrimental to the healthy development of online public opinion, as it leads to a narrow perspective and reinforces biases and stereotypes, potentially escalating the spread of rumors and extreme behaviors [8]. Group 4: Governance and Solutions - The Central Cyberspace Administration of China has been actively enhancing governance of information recommendation algorithms, addressing issues such as the promotion of low-quality content and the exacerbation of "information cocoons" [10]. - Recommendations for overcoming "information cocoons" include improving regulatory frameworks, promoting algorithm transparency, and empowering users with tools to manage their content preferences [10][11].
