Importance of Transparency in Artificial Intelligence
A new paper recently published by Dr Leishi Zhang as co-author on transparency in Artificial Intelligence systems raises some interesting questions. https://researchspace.canterbury.ac.uk/94734/the-impact-of-system-transparenc The Impact of System Transparency on Analytical Reasoning CHI EA '23: Extended Abstracts of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 2023 Article No.: 274 Pages 1–6 https://doi.org/10.1145/3544549.3585786 Abstract In this paper, we present the hypothesis that system transparency is critical for tasks that involve expert sensemaking. Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems can aid criminal intelligence analysts, however, they are typically opaque, obscuring the underlying processes that inform outputs, and this has implications for sensemaking. We report on an initial study with 10 intelligence analysts who performed a realistic investigation exercise using the Pan natural language system [10, 11], in which only half were p...
