• Authors: Laura Schelenz, Avi Segal, and Kobi Gal
• Abstract summary: Increasing transparency is an important goal for personalization based systems. We combine insights from technology ethics and computer science to generate a list of transparency best practices for machine generated personalization. Based on these best practices, we develop a checklist to be used by designers wishing to evaluate and increase the transparency of their algorithmic systems.

• Abstract: Artificial Intelligence based systems increasingly use personalization to provide users with relevant content, products, and solutions. Personalization is intended to support users and address their respective needs and preferences. However, users are becoming increasingly vulnerable to online manipulation due to algorithmic advancements and lack of transparency. Such manipulation decreases users' levels of trust, autonomy, and satisfaction concerning the systems with which they interact. Increasing transparency is an important goal for personalization based systems. Unfortunately, system designers lack guidance in assessing and implementing transparency in their developed systems. In this work we combine insights from technology ethics and computer science to generate a list of transparency best practices for machine generated personalization. Based on these best practices, we develop a checklist to be used by designers wishing to evaluate and increase the transparency of their algorithmic systems. Adopting a designer perspective, we apply the checklist to prominent online services and discuss its advantages and shortcomings. We encourage researchers to adopt the checklist in various environments and to work towards a consensus-based tool for measuring transparency in the personalization community.

• Users are the North Star for AI Transparency [111.5679109784322]
  Despite widespread calls for transparent artificial intelligence systems, the term is too overburdened with disparate meanings to express precise policy aims or to orient concrete lines of research. Part of why this happens is that a clear ideal of AI transparency goes unsaid in this body of work. We explicitly name such a north star -- transparency that is user-centered, user-appropriate, and honest.

  From a human-centered design perspective, transparency is not a property of the ML model but an affordance, i.e. a relationship between algorithm and user. Following human-centered design principles in healthcare and medical image analysis is challenging due to the limited availability of and access to end users. We introduce the INTRPRT guideline, a systematic design directive for transparent ML systems in medical image analysis.
