The transparency imperative: The need for model documentation for engaging with public policy following the EU AI Act

Conference paper, Annual Modeling and Simulation Conference (ANNSIM'25) Abstract The application of Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) has few established guidelines and oftensuffers from insuffdifferent types of model documentation in light of the European Union’s AI Act (AI Act).
