Right to an Explanation of a Decision
The right to a clear and meaningful explanation of how an AI system contributed to a specific decision affecting you — what role the system played, the main factors that led to the outcome, and what it means for you. This right covers the decision actually made about you; the right to be informed about how the system works in general is a separate right.
