Treatment of Transparency Obligations

On the topic of Transparency Obligations, EU AI Act is classified as governs and UK Pro-Innovation Approach to AI Regulation (White Paper) as implicit. The editorial verdict is asymmetric. One regime addresses the topic explicitly while the other covers it only implicitly or not at all; this is a likely site of regulatory arbitrage and a candidate for comparative-law follow-up.
Contested question: Does transparency disclosure (model cards, training-data summaries) actually reduce bias / misuse / accidents? Selbst & Barocas (2019) argue disclosure ≠ fairness; regulators assume it helps.
