Abstract

Transparency has been identified as an important influence on users’ perception of algorithm-based automated tools. Research in algorithmic transparency has mostly focused on two types of information: disclosure related to the personal data collected from users and explanation of how algorithms work. However, the development and use of automated tools also involve other types of information that could be the subject of disclosure. In this study, we compare perception of providing information about data provenance and human involvement, in addition to personal data processing and algorithm explanation. We conducted a user experiment and compared the disclosure of these four types of information, for two types of automated apps that process personal information. The results indicate that disclosure of information about data provenance and human involvement is perceived to be as important as personal data processing information. In addition, the relative importance of explanations about the algorithm, compared to other types of information, depended on the type of app. Finally, perception of the usefulness and accessibility of the information did not vary between types of information or app, but participants considered they would be able to understand explanations about the algorithm more than other types of information.
