An AI notice alone does not create transparency

A label is only the entry point. Effective transparency connects visible information with provenance, action and verifiable delivery.

A bright five-layer transparency interface connects a central content card to a visible notice, context, provenance trail, human action route and audit evidence; a small amber gap marks lost metadata.

01 · NOTICEDoes the disclosure appear in time, prominently, intelligibly and accessibly?

02 · PROVENANCEDo origin and edit history remain traceable across relevant channels?

03 · ACTIONCan a person correct, challenge, request human review or exit?

CORE METHOD

NOTICE → CONTEXT → PROVENANCE → ACTION → EVIDENCE

The notice draws attention, context explains meaning, provenance records origin, action provides agency and evidence makes delivery auditable.
