Making Algorithm Registers Work for Meaningful Transparency

Public administrations are increasingly adopting algorithms for decision-making and citizen interactions in areas such as health, education, welfare, and law enforcement. These systems also influence critical private sector domains like insurance, banking, and employment. Despite their widespread use, algorithms often lack transparency, leaving citizens, regulators, and watchdogs unable to fully understand or monitor their implications.
