Overview

Analyzes transparency in AI governance, exploring its varied origins and implications for development and standards.

Key Points

  • The aim is to clarify the concept of transparency in artificial intelligence by examining its diverse historical traditions and functions.
  • Conducted a historical and comparative reconstruction of transparency traditions across various disciplines.
  • Analyzed how different traditions evolved to address specific informational problems.
  • Introduced transparency profiles to match transparency functions with application domains.
  • Identified multiple distinct traditions of transparency that inform contemporary AI governance.
  • Demonstrated that many debates on AI transparency stem from diverse functions rather than conceptual disagreement.
  • Proposed that specifying transparency requirements based on intended function can enhance AI governance.
