Algorithms used by tech companies, such as those that recommend content or filter information, are often proprietary and closely guarded secrets. Proponents argue that transparency would prevent abuses and ensure fair practices. Opponents argue that it would harm business confidentiality and competitive advantage.

Yes

Tiktok, Facebook. You just have to read what they are accused of and there is no need for a lot of arguing.

No

If the companies do not share their algorithms, it can lead to misuse of power, as controling information is power. This sort of power is often profit driven and therefore our information may often be used for the profit, monetary or otherwise for big companies that do not care about people.

What means sharing? I think that related to the end use of the program, this should be decided
@9YCJPF43wks3W
As long as the technology affects the general public such as social media or automobiles.
@9T69TDYIndependent3mos3MO
yes, but only to make the public aware of the biases of the company not to interfere with the company
@9N85ZJW6mos6MO
Maybe social media companies should share their algorithms since misinformation is playing such a huge role in elections and world politics. This draws massive amounts of money to try to get people to believe what you want them to believe.
