论文摘要

现有的制定公平计算定义的努力在很大程度上集中在平等的分布概念上,在这种平等概念中,平等是由系统中给出的个人的资源或决策定义的。然而,现有的歧视和不公正通常是社会关系不平等的结果,而不是资源分配不平等的结果。在这里,我们展示了对公平和平等的现有计算和经济定义的优化,无法预防不平等的社会关系。为此,我们提供了一个在简单的招聘市场中具有自我融合平衡的示例,该市场在关系上不平等,但满足了现有的公平分配概念。在此过程中,我们介绍了公然的关系不公平的概念,对于完整信息游戏,并讨论了该定义如何有助于启动一种新方法将关系平等纳入计算系统。

Existing efforts to formulate computational definitions of fairness have largely focused on distributional notions of equality, where equality is defined by the resources or decisions given to individuals in the system. Yet existing discrimination and injustice is often the result of unequal social relations, rather than an unequal distribution of resources. Here, we show how optimizing for existing computational and economic definitions of fairness and equality fail to prevent unequal social relations. To do this, we provide an example of a self-confirming equilibrium in a simple hiring market that is relationally unequal but satisfies existing distributional notions of fairness. In doing so, we introduce a notion of blatant relational unfairness for complete-information games, and discuss how this definition helps initiate a new approach to incorporating relational equality into computational systems.
