Explainable AI (XAI) aims to shed light on the inner workings of AI models, enabling users to understand and trust the output and outcomes generated by machine learning models.
Machine learning algorithms can become black boxes, leading to a lack of transparency and making the reliability, fairness, and credibility of AI systems questionable.
XAI offers comprehensible justifications for the decisions AI systems make, promoting credibility, accountability, and acceptance.
Explanations from XAI can enable us to understand and address biases, detect and mitigate errors, provide audit-ready explanations, and empower humans to optimize models effectively.
Lack of understandability is one of the primary issues facing XAI researchers, along with difficulties in achieving balance between performance and clarity.
Explanations must be tailored to user-specific needs, promoting a broader understanding of AI’s inner workings.
Future XAI developments may involve ‘XAI-by-Design,’ which embeds explication techniques directly into AI model architectures, making models more inherently transparent.
Counterfactual explanations will provide insights into the causal structure underlying the model’s decisions, allowing XAI systems to not only answer ‘what’ but also ‘why.’
Regulations requiring explainability for certain AI applications will help drive the development of effective XAI techniques, and integrating AI with human expertise is a promising area for the future.
