10-2Have you transparently provided the specification of the model on the AI model specification document?Determine applicability: Consider this question if you wish to transparently provide specifications of the system integrated with an AI algorithm or model to ensure trustworthiness, and determine if the requirement has been fulfilled.
• One way to ensure transparency of an AI system is to prepare documents of diverse results from the development, test, and distribution processes of the AI model or service. If there are detailed documents of the model’s specification, you may transparently disclose the purpose of the model, input, output, performance, biases, and reliability upon user’s request to provide information about the AI model.
• IBM’s AI FactSheets 360 project and the World Economic Forum present measures to ensure transparency in AI systems by preparing model specification documents. IBM provides examples of documents to explain the key information and components of an AI model as needed without revealing the algorithm of the developed system.
