AI智能体场景下最小必要原则的具体内涵与判断标准

Specific Connotation and Judgment Criteria of the Minimum Necessary Principle in the Context of AI Agent

  • 摘要: AI智能体(AI Agent)是指能够感知外部环境,并根据指令自主决策和执行任务的软件程序、信息系统以及其他类型的实体。该类AI应用在提升AI信息服务智能化、自动化程度的同时,也对个人信息保护提出了更高的要求:AI智能体的服务模式属于“个性化服务”,故而需要收集和处理尽可能多的个人信息。但是,由于AI智能体的基础功能和个人信息处理目的存在不确定性,以“确属处理个人信息处理目的所必要”为判断逻辑的最小必要原则难以适用。在AI智能体场景下,最小必要原则并未因与产业实践脱节而失灵,而是既有的解释论侧重强调“最小”和“必要”的具体要求,忽视了该原则所指向的个人信息保护目标。所谓的“最小”不是指数量层面的最小,而是强调在多种技术方案中选择“对个人权益影响最小”且收集个人信息数量相对最小的方案。所谓的“必要”并不是仅以处理目的作为判断标准,而是应结合AI智能体应用场景、信息服务合同、技术保护措施等要素进行综合判断。

     

    Abstract: AI Agent refers to software programs, information systems and other types of entities that can perceive the external environment, make autonomous decisions and perform tasks according to instructions. While this type of AI application improves the intelligence and automation of AI information services, it also brings new issues such as personal information protection: the service model of AI agents is "personalized service", so it needs to collect and process as much personal information as possible. However, due to the uncertainty of the basic functions of AI agents and the purpose of personal information processing, the minimum necessary principle based on the judgment logic of "it is indeed necessary for the purpose of processing personal information" is difficult to apply. In this scenario, the principle of minimum necessity has not failed due to its disconnection from industry practice. Rather, the existing interpretation theory focuses on emphasizing the specific requirements of "minimum" and "necessary" and ignores the personal information protection goal pointed to by this principle. The so-called “minimum” does not mean the minimum in terms of quantity, but emphasizes choosing the solution that has “the least impact on personal rights and interests” and collects the relatively smallest amount of personal information among a variety of technical solutions. The so-called "necessary" is not judged solely based on the purpose of processing, but a comprehensive judgment based on factors such as the application scenarios of AI agents, information service contracts, and technical protection measures.
