Whose Transparency is it Anyway? Understanding Generative AI Transparency Needs and Gaps Across Stakeholders

The paper investigates how different stakeholders—end‑users, AI builders, and policymakers—define and experience transparency in generative AI. It finds that while all groups agree on core goals of accuracy and privacy, end‑users perceive larger gaps between desired and available transparency features, with only 28% feeling well served compared to 53% of builders and 49% of policymakers. The study also shows that transparency is context‑dependent, shifting priorities based on task and role, and calls for pluralistic transparency infrastructures rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.

"So There's a Catch-22 Here": How Early Adopters Who Build Multi-Agent LLM Systems Conceptualize Transparency

arXiv:2606. 08323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems are rapidly emerging, yet transparency, a cornerstone of responsible AI, remains under-defined in these distributed architectures, which have complexities of inter-agent coordination and orchestration.

Lost in Translation: How Universal Ethical Values Fail to Translate Across Global Contexts

The paper titled "Lost in Translation: How Universal Ethical Values Fail to Translate Across Global Contexts" examines how AI ethics frameworks that assume values such as fairness, transparency, and accountability are universal actually differ in practice. By interviewing 14 experts from 10 countries, the authors find that these values are reinterpreted to fit local moral logics—privacy becomes collective, transparency becomes trust‑building, and fairness becomes equity in access—revealing translation gaps between global frameworks and local practices. The study proposes plural governance pathways that redistribute epistemic authority and treat ethical negotiation as an ongoing, context‑sensitive process.

Expectations and Practices around AI Disclosure in CS Research

The paper examines AI disclosure policies in top computer science venues, finding them to be highly under‑specified. A survey of 109 researchers shows that disclosures are deemed most necessary for research design tasks and when human involvement is low, and it compiles researchers’ expectations for disclosure content. Analysis of 13,867 disclosure statements from EMNLP 2025 and ICLR 2026 reveals a significant mismatch between these expectations and actual practice, such as frequent disclosure of writing assistance despite it being considered less necessary.
