From the distribution of rider capacity to the recommendation of hotel accommodation, from the dispatch of online vehicles to the supply chain management algorithms of e-commerce platforms, algorithms have become the underlying tools of all major platforms and are also the "invisible helmsman" of the Chinese Internet world. Since this year, algorithms have transitioned from being seen as "mysterious technology" to a more transparent and accelerated process. According to the analysis of journalists, except for a few platforms, platforms such as Douyin, Meituan, and Xiaohongshu have all gradually opened up their algorithm "black boxes". In this process, some "counter-intuitive" methods of calculation have also emerged. The mainstream belief is that platform algorithm governance is a compulsory course for Internet companies in 2025. However, algorithm transparency has its dual nature - it is not only an important lever for reshaping digital civilization, but also a challenge for some platform business models. Most respondents believe that the "technology for good" aspect of Internet algorithms is the core issue and key factor. (Securities Times)
