Abstract

Algorithm transparency as an algorithm accountability method has been widely praised by the community. Algorithm transparency is considered to be an effective way to crack the algorithm black box. The algorithm transparency refers to the disclosure of the source code of the algorithm system and the data used in the algorithm system. This paper first introduces the concept of algorithm and algorithm governance, and then critically analyzes the side effects of algorithm transparency, and finally discusses the dialectical relationship between algorithm transparency and algorithm trust, claims that establishing algorithm trust is the foundation of algorithm accountability, and points out that algorithm transparency can’t rebuild the trust of algorithm. At the same time, it describes the basic methods to establish the trust of the algorithm.
