摘要

This paper develops a typology of AI fairness grounded in speculative realism and object-oriented ontology, introducing four paradigms: Anthropocentric Plateau Fairness (APF), Anthropocentric Stratigraphic Fairness (ASF), Flat Speculative Egalitarianism (FSE), and Hierarchical Speculative Onto-fairness (HSO). By integrating insights from philosophy, social theory, and computer science, the typology elucidates implicit ontological assumptions underlying fairness debates and expands ethical consideration beyond traditional human-centered perspectives. The paper articulates theoretical propositions predicting how AI systems designed within these paradigms would operate, highlighting tensions, trade-offs, and opportunities associated with each. Finally, the paper proposes a paradigm selection matrix to guide practitioners in applying these frameworks to specific algorithmic contexts. This speculative framework offers a structured basis for interdisciplinary dialogue, encouraging AI fairness research to address deeper structural, ecological, and ethical dimensions.
