摘要
As concerns about discrimination in black box machine learning systems rise, a legal "right to an explanation" has emerged as an attractive approach for governance. Meaningful information about algorithmic logics is more technically possible than commonly thought, but this risks a new "transparency fallacy"-an illusion of remedy over a substantive provision.
