arXiv:2606.10137v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A common assumption in strategic classification is that the classifier is public knowledge. However, it remains unclear whether, and why, a system would choose to commit to full disclosure. We study a setting in which regulation requires the system to disclose some, but not all, of the information. This induces a learning task in which the learner must jointly optimize the classifier and the uncertainty surrounding it. To this end, we adopt from robust mechanism design the notion of ambiguity, which in our setting allows the learner to reveal a s
The increasing deployment of AI systems in sensitive decision-making contexts necessitates robust methods for understanding and controlling their transparency.
This research addresses the critical challenge of strategic classification where AI systems must balance performance with regulated disclosure, impacting fairness, trust, and accountability.
The proposed 'ambiguity' framework offers a new paradigm for designing AI systems that can optimize for performance while strategically managing the uncertainty of their decision-making process based on disclosure requirements.

AI systems may become more trustworthy as their disclosure mechanisms improve, even if partial.
New regulatory frameworks could emerge, requiring specific levels of 'ambiguity' or disclosure from AI models.
This could lead to a standardisation of 'ambiguity' metrics and auditing processes for strategic AI systems across industries.
