A new paper explores the limitations of algorithm registers in providing transparency for public services, particularly in understanding the sociotechnical systems that govern algorithmic decision-making. Through a case study involving a Dutch city's algorithm register and a decision-support tool for welfare benefits, researchers conducted participatory system mapping workshops with various stakeholders. The findings indicate that algorithm registers alone fail to capture crucial safety hazards and governance issues, highlighting the need for broader stakeholder engagement to achieve effective AI governance and accountability.
