China’s tech giants have shared details of their algorithms with the country’s regulators. Writes about it CNBC.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has published a list of 30 algorithms along with brief descriptions of their purpose from companies including those from tech giants like Alibaba and Tencent.
According to the document, ByteDance’s algorithm, created for the Chinese version of TikTok, is used to recommend videos, products and services of potential interest to users. To do this, the system analyzes behavioral data such as clicks and likes.
The Taobao marketplace system is used to recommend content on the homepage and other parts of the app based on the user’s historical search data.
From the published information, it is not clear how deeply CAC has penetrated into the details of the algorithms of the tech giants. The firms on the list did not comment on the publication of the regulator.
Recall that in August 2021, China introduced the rules for the use of recommender algorithms by technology companies.
In January 2022, the PRC authorities approved the procedure for regulating recommendation systems. They went into effect March 1st.
In April, CAC announced a review of tech giants for compliance with the new rules.
