'''Algorithmic transparency''' is the capacity for the user of an [[Algorithms|algorithm]] to understand its functioning and its resulting output. It is to be opposed to the functioning of an algorithm as a [[black box]], which lacks explainability in its automated decision making.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Diakopoulos|first1=Nicholas|title=Algorithmic Accountability: Journalistic Investigation of Com- putationalComputational Power Structures.|journal=Digital Journalism|date=2015|volume=3|issue=3|page=398-415}}</ref>
 
Current research around algorithmic transparency is mainly interested in the societal effects of accessing remote services running black box algorithms.<ref>{{cite web|title=Workshop on Data and Algorithmic Transparency|url=http://datworkshop.org/|accessdate=4 January 2017|date=2015}}</ref>
