It’s so true that transparency builds trust in AI. Last month, I was part of a project using an open-source AI tool, and sharing our dataset really helped clarify our methodology. It made a huge difference in how stakeholders viewed our results. @dylan_james67, have you seen similar outcomes in your work?
