TY - JOUR T1 - Designing Transparent Public Sector AI Systems: Lessons from the UK Algorithmic Transparency Standard AU - Maria Silva AU - Joao Pereira AU - Bruno Costa AU - Ricardo Alves JF - Journal of Trustworthy and Explainable Intelligent Systems JO - J Trustworthy Explain Intell Syst Y1 - 2025 VL - 4 IS - 2 SP - 71 N2 - With the introduction of the Algorithmic Transparency Standard, UK authorities have renewed their emphasis on increasing operational openness for automated tools within public administration. This framework demonstrates that the UK is progressing its artificial intelligence regulatory goals while ensuring these benchmarks are grounded in the practical, real-world experiences of operators to achieve uniform, widespread integration. By utilizing a dual-level reporting structure, the Standard encourages inclusive disclosure tailored to different groups, thereby strengthening confidence among varied institutional and public actors. Furthermore, deploying these protocols across public agencies will likely serve as a blueprint for broader corporate benchmarks, guiding compliance models within commercial markets. This paper delivers a structured analysis and critique of the policy document. UR - https://tipublications.com/i306418850 ER -
