Does your trading platform explain WHY its AI recommends a stock?

Hi r/investing,

I'm a finance researcher at the University of Sétif 1 (Algeria) studying AI governance in trading platforms — specifically whether platforms like Robinhood, eToro, Interactive Brokers, and Saxo Bank actually explain how their AI generates signals.

When your platform shows you a buy/sell signal, do you know what's behind it? My research suggests most retail investors don't — and that this transparency gap varies significantly by platform and regulatory jurisdiction.

If you use any AI-powered trading platform, I'd really appreciate 5 minutes of your time:
