Algorithmic Transparency In Digital Work Platforms: A Policy Proposal For Sustainable Development In The Digital Era Within The G20 Context

This public policy brief proposes a comprehensive and innovative approach to addressing the issue of algorithmic transparency in digital work platforms. With an emphasis on promoting justice and equity in labor relations, the specific recommendations aim to position the G20 in its working groups as a proactive advocate for effective regulation of work on digital platforms, driving the global agenda towards a more transparent, fair, and inclusive work environment. Information about the criteria used to monitor and evaluate workers’ performance should be accessible to digital platform workers subject to algorithmic management tools. Recognizing this principle by the G20 could inform the debate on Platform Work within the International Labour Organization. This proposal, based on extensive research, aims to address the application of this ethical Al principle, seeking to ensure the right to transparency and algorithmic equity in digital-era employment relationships. Contributing to sustainable and equitable development in the digital age means using technology responsibly and ethically to promote human well-being, protect the environment, and create a fairer and more inclusive society for all.
