This needs to be required for any type of algorithmic decision making. Without algorithmic transparency ulterior motives, intentional or unintentional biases, and unnoticed mistakes are hidden from public review.
A common response is that we don't know how some types of machine learning make their decisions. I agree this is occasionally true. Find a way generate an explanation, or use a different algorithm; transparency is a critical requirement.
