AI registers: finally, a tool to increase transparency in AI/ML - KDnuggets

Transparency, explainability, and trust are big and pressing topics in AI/ML today. Nobody wants to find themselves at the receiving end of a black box system that makes consequential decisions (e.g., about jobs, healthcare, citizenship, etc.), especially if those decisions are unfair, biased, or just plainly not in our favor. And most organizations agree that consumer trust and confidence that AI is being used ethically and transparently are keys to unlocking its true potential. And while there are literally hundreds of documents describing and prescribing AI principles, frameworks, and other good things, there haven't been any practical tools that could help with implementing transparency. On September 28, 2020, the Cities of Helsinki and Amsterdam jointly announced the launch of their public AI registers.
