What happens when governments make their algorithms visible to the public? Transparency is becoming core infrastructure for trustworthy public-sector AI. A new AI Wonk blog by Joy Aston from the #UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology explains how the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard (ATRS) is helping operationalise that shift. The article shows how ATRS: 🔹 provides a structured way for public bodies to document algorithmic tools 🔹 strengthens accountability and public trust in government decision-making 🔹 supports safer deployment through earlier risk identification 🔹 demonstrates how transparency and security must be balanced in practice 🔹 offers lessons for countries developing their own transparency frameworks With 125 records already published and international collaboration through GPAI and partners such as #Estonia, ATRS is emerging as a practical reference point for making government use of AI systems more explainable and responsible. This work benefited from a partnership with the CEIMIA Centre of the GPAI Expert Community.
