AI Transparency
Being open about how AI systems work and make decisions.
In Plain English
AI Transparency refers to openness about AI systems — how they work, what data they were trained on, their limitations, and how decisions are made. Transparency helps users understand what they're interacting with, researchers identify problems, and regulators ensure accountability. Many advocate for AI companies to be more transparent about their systems.
💡Real-World Example
A transparent AI hiring tool would explain why it ranked certain candidates higher, rather than just providing scores.
