Abstract
This study explores transparency challenges in algorithmic fairness. After reviewing progress in technical and regulatory transparency, we suggest that some level of opacity is inherent to AI systems. Drawing on the relational approach and Polanyi’s work on tacit knowledge, we propose studying how society has dealt with other opaque technologies. Using digital simulation modeling as an example, we discuss the similarities and differences between simulations and AI systems in terms of accuracy and transparency. Further research is recommended to advance algorithmic fairness and responsible practices.
