Transparency Layer [TRL]

Term code: AUG-0955 · Discipline: SF (SF) · Period: 5 · Language: en

Description

A condition in which an AI system's processes and outputs are rendered inspectable and explainable to relevant parties, described as the graded extent of available, accurate disclosure rather than as a single event.

Operational definition

STATE (graded). Rated per system on a defined transparency rubric covering disclosure of AI involvement, of provenance/sources, and of decision rationale, each scored 0-2 and summed to an ordinal index. Scoring is from inspectable system artefacts (notices, logs, explanations), not from user opinion.

Measurement schema

Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Rubric-based rater scoring of the disclosure dimensions (AI-use notice / source provenance / rationale availability) to form the transparency index; inter-rater reliability could be reported as ordinal ICC. Items map to concrete artefacts so scoring is auditable.
