Algorithm Transparency

Algorithm transparency refers to the clarity and openness about how algorithms work and make decisions. It means that the processes behind algorithms—like those used in search engines, social media, or financial systems—should be understandable to the public. This involves sharing information about the data used, how decisions are made, and the potential impacts on individuals and society. Transparency helps build trust, enabling users to know why they see certain information or recommendations, and allows for accountability if the algorithms make unfair or harmful choices.
