Plain explanation
Example
A public service states that AI ranks applications, explains the factors and human review, publishes evaluation limits, and provides a contest route.Why it matters
People cannot make informed choices or hold systems accountable when important operation is hidden. Disclosure must still protect legitimate privacy, safety, and security interests.Common misunderstanding
Misconception: publishing source code makes every aspect transparent. Correction: code alone may not reveal data, objectives, deployment, decisions, evidence, or institutional responsibility.Sources and scope
Frames transparency and accountability across the AI lifecycle; appropriate disclosure varies with audience, security, rights and context.
