What is an AI Transparency Notice?

Required by 42 regulations across 13 jurisdictions in the XIRA catalog (state, federal, and local codes).

Definition

A transparency notice tells people that AI plays a role in a decision that affects them. It usually covers what the system does, what categories of data feed it, and what rights the person has. Several states require a notice before or when the decision happens, not weeks later.

What you should do next

  • Match notice timing to each state rule, whether before the decision or at first meaningful contact.
  • Use plain language that a busy reader can follow without a technical glossary.
  • Describe how to reach a human, appeal, or opt out where the law gives that path.
  • Post notices where users and employees actually see them, not only in a policy PDF.
  • Version and date notices so you can prove what was in place on a given day.
