     Algorithm Regulation Under the Framework of
                     Human Rights Protection

       -   From the Perspective of Toronto Declaration

           Abstract: The application of artificial intelligence algorithms in
      public services brings with it issues such as algorithmic discrimination
      and  inequality. The discussion of the ethics and regulation of algo-
      rithms, from the legal perspective, is actually the relationship between
      intelligent algorithms and the protection of human rights. In response
      to the discrimination and prejudice of algorithmic violations of human
      rights, a coalition of nonprofit organizations released the Toronto
      Declaration on Machine  Learning regulates the development and use
      of algorithms with the principle of due process. The Ethics Guide-
      lines for Trustworthy Al issued by the European Union in 2019 focus
      on the participants in algorithm development. While US courts that the
      algorithms enjoy the right to 'freedom of speech . China should learn
      from the foreign algorithm regulation experience, and seek to establish
      an overallframework  of government regulation that balances the need
      for technological innovation and commercial competition with human
      rights protection.

    The  popularization of new technologies will not only change society, it will also
change the legal relationships between people and machines. While changing the hu-
man-machine  relationship, Al is having a certain impact on the existing legal system.
From  a global perspective, some countries take a conservative approach and try to in-
corporate artificial intelligence into the traditional legal framework by explaining the
new relationship between man and machine. Some other countries actively adopt the
path of legislation and regulate algorithms and ethics through new legislation and in-
dustry standards. The Toronto Declaration on Machine Learning (hereafter referred to
as the Toronto Declaration), which can be more widely applied to Al, was issued by
a number of international nonprofit organizations in Canada on May 16, 2018 was a
manifestation of the legislative tradition of European countries and was closely related
to the civil law tradition of European countries. In response to this, MIT and other re-
search institutions have jointly launched research on Al ethics.'
