Algorithmic transparency is the capacity for the user of an 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.[1]
Current research around algorithmic transparency is mainly interested in the societal effects of accessing remote services running black box algorithms.[2]
