Description: Stakeholder engagement is the process of involving stakeholders in the decision-making process related to the development and dissemination of a model. This approach seeks to ensure that the voices and concerns of all affected groups are heard and considered, which can improve the quality and acceptance of the model. Stakeholders can include developers, end-users, regulators, and local communities. Active participation from these parties not only fosters transparency but can also lead to more innovative and effective solutions by integrating diverse perspectives and experiences. Furthermore, stakeholder engagement is crucial for building trust and legitimacy in the development process, which can facilitate the implementation and long-term success of the model. In an increasingly interconnected world, where technological decisions can have a significant impact on society, stakeholder engagement has become essential to ensure that models are sustainable and equitable.
