Synopsis

As data and artificial intelligence (AI) systems become deeply integrated in organizational and societal decision-making, questions of transparency and trust have more apparent in the public and professional concern. Complex algorithms and uneven accountability can erode confidence among users and affected communities. Centering transparency and trust within data and AI ecosystems is therefore essential to ensuring ethical use and equitable outcomes. Centering Transparency and Trust in Data and AI Ecosystems explores the urgent need to develop responsible and ethically grounded data and AI ecosystems. It examines sustainable and transparent AI systems that align with regulatory requirements. Covering topics such as data systems, AI trust, and ethical transparency, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, data scientists, and graduate students.
