FREEDOM, RESPONSIBILITY, AND DIGNITY IN A ALGORITIMIZED SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

Algorithmization of the social environment describes the state in which algorithmic systems cease to be external tools and begin to function as structural elements of the social order. The problem is that such normativity acts imperceptibly: it neither prohibits nor formulates norms, but rather designs the "structure of the possible," making some trajectories of behavior probable and visible, while others are unlikely. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct, based on the conceptual description of algorithmized sociality, how freedom, responsibility, and dignity are re-formulated in these conditions. The method is theoretical-analytical: clarifying terms, restoring the logic of transitions, and highlighting differences. It is shown that freedom shifts from autonomy to the ability to distinguish between what is possible and what is proposed and to hold a pause, responsibility dissipates in the mode of delegated decisions and requires understanding as an ethical trace of participation, dignity becomes the limit of instrumentalization and is associated with the right to non-transparency, error, and non-conformity of the model.
