AlgoTransparency

AlgoTransparency is a platform dedicated to exposing the impact of influential algorithms on information consumption, with an initial focus on YouTube's recommendation algorithm. It highlights how AI-driven recommendations can amplify sensationalist content, disinformation, and polarize public debate by maximizing watch time. The project provides data transparency on YouTube's algorithmic influence, offers a manifesto on algorithmic transparency, tips for healthier YouTube usage, and encourages community reporting of concerning recommendations across social media platforms.
