With the rapid development of Internet technology, algorithms play an increasingly important role in information services. However, the improper use of algorithms can also bring about a series of problems, such as discrimination, privacy leakage, and inducing addiction. In order to regulate the recommendation activities of Internet information service algorithms and protect the legitimate rights and interests of netizens, the mainland has introduced a system for the filing of Internet information service algorithms.
I. Overview of Internet Information Service Algorithm Filing
Internet information service algorithm filing, the full name of Internet information service algorithm filing, is a management system established by the Chinese government to regulate Internet information service algorithm recommendation activities. The system aims to ensure that the application of algorithms is fair, just, transparent and explainable, while protecting the legitimate rights and interests of users and promoting the healthy development of the Internet industry.
The filing of Internet information service algorithms is led by the Cyberspace Administration of China (hereinafter referred to as the "Cyberspace Administration of China") and jointly issued and implemented with the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the State Administration of Market Supervision and other departments. Since March 2022, the system has been officially implemented, and all enterprises or individuals engaged in Internet information services in China are required to file the algorithms and software they use.
II. Which algorithm technologies need to be filed for Internet information service algorithms
1. Deep synthesis technology: the technology that uses deep learning, virtual reality and other generative synthesis algorithms to produce text, images, audio, video, virtual scenes and other network information. Technologies that generate or edit text content, including but are not limited to text generation, text style conversion, and Q&A dialogues; Technologies for generating or editing biometrics in images and video content, such as face generation, face replacement, and character attribute editing; 3D reconstruction, digital simulation, and other technologies for generating or editing digital characters and virtual scenes.
2. Recommendation algorithm: Based on user interests, behaviors and other data, it provides users with personalized recommendation algorithms. For example, on platforms such as food delivery and ride-hailing, users can recommend relevant products or services based on their historical orders, browsing records, and other information.
3. Sorting algorithm: An algorithm that sorts information according to certain rules. For example, in a search engine, search results are sorted based on keyword matching, web page quality, and other factors.
III. Procedures for handling the filing of Internet information service algorithms
1. Registration/Login to the ICP filing system: Register an account in the ICS ICP filing system and log in to the system.
2. Fill in the entity information: Fill in the information of the filing entity as required, including the basic information of the entity, the certificate information, the information of the legal representative, and the information of the person responsible for algorithm security.
3. Fill in the algorithm information: Fill in the details of the algorithm in the system, including the algorithm type, application field, data source, etc. Upload the required materials at the same time.
4. Submit for review: Submit for review after confirming that the information is correct. After the review is approved, the system generates an ICP filing number and an ICP filing certificate.
5. Disclosure of filing information: After approval, it will be publicized in the Internet information service algorithm filing system and subject to social supervision.
For enterprises that are not familiar with the filing process or want to improve the efficiency of processing, choosing a reliable agency is a good choice. Datong Tiancheng has an in-depth understanding of the filing process and requirements, and has a professional service team, which can provide enterprises with timely, accurate and efficient Internet information service algorithm filing services.
