Plenty of companies now adopt the trade secrets approach to protect automated decision-making. However, the trade secrets protection for automated decision-making will deepen the negative impact of societal challenges. Meanwhile, algorithmic transparency is strongly called for in the legal dimension. Therefore, severe conflicts exist between trade secrets protection for automated decision-making and algorithmic transparency. This thesis considers the conflicts between trade secret protection and algorithmic transparency in automated decision-making, aiming to propose a regulatory model to balance these conflicts in the Chinese jurisdiction.
