Text der Petition

We demand that LinkedIN promptly make its recommendation algorithm and filter practices publicly available. It is time for the company to be open about its operations and accept responsibility for any negative effects its algorithm may have on society. If Twitter can Open Source these algorithms, so can LinkedIn.

Recommendation algorithms are powerful tools that can influence the products we buy, the people we follow, and the information we see. With hundreds of millions of users, their influence over collective intelligence is too significant to ignore. Therefore, we must understand how these algorithms function, evaluate their effects, and hold companies like LinkedIn accountable.

Twitter has recently open-sourced its recommendation algorithm, and at Hippo AI, we believe it's a significant step towards a more transparent future. These powerful algorithms must be open to public scrutiny to ensure they align with the values of our global economy and society. These values must be democratically decided, and identifying flaws in the current algorithms' design is the first logical step, which can only be achieved through open sourcing.

We demand that LinkedIn makes its recommendation algorithm and filter practices publicly available promptly. The company must be transparent about its operations and take responsibility for any negative effects its algorithm may have on society. If Twitter can open-source these algorithms, so can LinkedIn.

Why LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is the largest business community in the world and hosts a social networking site designed for professionals and enterprises. Its recommendation algorithm has a significant effect on the information users see and share. With 900 million members in 200 countries and territories across the globe, LinkedIn's continued secrecy regarding its algorithm is unacceptable, given the potential for harm due to manipulation it poses. LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, which also exclusively has access to ChatGPT. The powerful algorithms it deploys to match opportunity seekers with targeted ads can perpetuate different kinds of biases, which could adversely impact the career and business opportunities of a large section of its user base. As these algorithms continue to increase in capacity, the necessity for transparency also grows.

What can you do?

We invite all concerned citizens to endorse this petition and demand that LinkedIn prioritizes openness and accountability. Together, we can ensure that LinkedIn takes the necessary measures to safeguard the integrity of our public discourse by making our voices heard.

We appreciate your support.
