Abstract: “Algorithmic Capitalism” refers to a contemporary form of capitalism with intelligent algorithms at its central control, representing the iterative upgrade of digital capitalism under the new technological revolution. Unlike previous forms of capitalism, algorithmic capitalism follows the logic of intelligence, featuring new characteristics of trans-regional, full-process, automation, and implicit dominance. From the perspective of core structure, algorithmic capitalism follows a four-element structure of “algorithm-platform-data-capital”, where algorithms serve as the “efficient” element, platforms as the “formal” element, data as the “material” element, and capital as the “final” element. Algorithmic capitalism has the dual significance of progress and limitation, bringing more mobility and social change while also triggering serious negative ethical effects. Research on algorithmic capitalism holds significant theoretical and practical value in the current context.

摘要： “算法资本主义”指的是以智能算法为控制中枢的当代资本主义形态，表征着数字资本主义在新一轮科技革命下的迭代升级。与此前的资本主义形态不同，算法资本主义遵循着智能化的运作逻辑，具有跨区域、全流程、自动化和隐性支配的全新特征。从核心构架来看，算法资本主义遵循着“算法-平台-数据-资本”的四元构架，其中，算法是“动力”要素，平台是“形式”要素，数据是“质料”要素，资本是“目的”要素。算法资本主义具有进步性和局限性的双重意义，带来更多流动性与社会变革的同时，更是引发了严重的负面伦理效应。算法资本主义研究在当下具有重要的理论价值和现实意义。
