AI总结：
本文提出“可问责数字化”概念，以儿童福利判决为案例，论证需求感知信息系统如何通过隐私保护与共同创造，支持机构自我认知与可审计正义。
AI中文摘要：
数字问责研究探讨数字系统如何（在其他目标中）实现透明、可解释、可审计、可质疑，并支持持续学习与改进。本文反转了这一研究问题：数字转型如何使既有的人类机构更具问责性？本文将这一反转理论化为“可问责数字化”，并将需求感知信息系统界定为其中介机制。其典型且具有范式意义的案例是儿童福利判决，在此场景中，最佳利益程序必须保护儿童、维护保密性、尊重司法独立，同时支持关于需求、理由、例外情况和差异的总体性学习。该案例被诊断性和说明性地用于推导和检验设计逻辑，而非作为经验证据或验证。概念性的设计导向分析在儿童权利约束下对数字问责与法律问责进行分解与重组，推导出从理论到设计的规范链条、条件性机制、影响及保障措施。本研究推进了信息系统责任与伦理研究，展示了隐私保护、共同创造的需求感知信息系统如何支持机构自我认知与可审计的正义。
英文摘要：
Digital accountability research asks how digital systems can, among other aims, be made transparent, explainable, auditable, contestable, and supportive of ongoing learning and improvement. This paper reverses the question: how can digital transformation make established human institutions more accountable? It theorizes this reversal as accountable digitality and specifies needs-aware information systems as the mediating mechanism. The hard and paradigmatic case is child-welfare judgment, where best-interest procedures must protect children, preserve confidentiality, and respect judicial independence while enabling aggregate learning about needs, reasons, exceptions, and disparities. The case is used diagnostically and illustratively to derive and examine the design logic, not as empirical evidence or validation. Conceptual design-oriented analysis decomposes and recombines digital and legal accountability under child-rights constraints, deriving a canonical theory-to-design chain, contingent mechanisms, implications, and safeguards. It advances IS responsibility and ethics research by showing how privacy-preserving, co-created, needs-aware information systems can support institutional self-knowledge and auditable justice.
