ABSTRACT

Artificially intelligent communicators are increasingly influencing human discourse. Algorithms and bots are determining the range and frequency of ideas individuals encounter, ultimately raising questions about whether the marketplace of ideas theory of the First Amendment, as it has traditionally been envisioned by the Supreme Court, can continue to endure as justices’ dominant tool for rationalizing extensive safeguards for free expression. In particular, the emergence of AI actors, which drown out human ideas and spread false and misleading information, appear to only worsen the long-standing criticisms of the theory’s assumptions. This article draws from Hannah Arendt’s political philosophy to construct a revised approach to marketplace theory as it enters its second century of use by the Supreme Court. Arendt’s ideas, especially as they pertain to the power of human-made machines to condition human behavior, as well as her concerns regarding community, truth, and the dichotomy between animal laborans and homo faber, are uniquely suited, as well as relatively under considered, when it comes to revising the marketplace approach.

摘要

人工智能传播者正在越来越多地影响人类话语。算法和机器人确定了个人遇到的想法的范围和频率，最终引起了人们的质疑，即最高法院传统上设想的《第一修正案》的思想理论市场是否可以继续作为法官的主要工具来使用。合理化言论自由的广泛保障措施。特别是，淹没人类思想并散布虚假和误导性信息的AI行为者的出现，似乎只会加剧对这一理论假设的长期批评。本文借鉴了汉娜·阿伦特（Hannah Arendt）的政治哲学，为进入最高法院使用第二世纪的市场理论构建了一种修正的方法。阿伦特的想法动物laborans和人类创造，是唯一适用，以及相对之下考虑，当涉及到修改市场的做法。
