Algorithm Transparency Index AI-Transparency Released: First Public Scoring of Global Tech Companies' AI Decisions

The World Economic Forum and NYU's AI Now Institute have jointly released the first global AI-Transparency algorithm transparency index. The index quantitatively scores 50 major tech companies on the transparency of their AI systems across five dimensions: data source disclosure, algorithm logic explainability, bias audit frequency, user control rights, and complaint response mechanisms.

Scoring results (out of 100): Apple and Microsoft tied for first place (78 points), Google third (75 points), Amazon fifth (71 points), Meta eighth (65 points). The lowest-ranked were ByteDark (32 points) and several Chinese short-video platforms.

Meredith Whittaker, Co-Director of the AI Now Institute, said: "The goal of AI-Transparency is to let consumers know that when AI decides what content you see, what price you get, or what score you receive, how those decisions were made. Transparency is not optional — it is the foundation of trust."

The index is updated annually, and the 2031 evaluation will expand to 100 companies and add a new dimension of "AI incident public reporting."
