Reviewing XAI significance

Sophisticated and trained deep learning algorithms are capable of performing many tasks. Nevertheless, humans often cannot comprehend how AI systems make decisions due to their opaque nature. Fundamental questions to consider on why we need XAI are who built AI and who AI is built for. Hence, XAI has been viewed as a significant effort to keep the momentum going in the AI research field. As Albert Einstein said, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” Without adequate understanding, humans cannot translate valuable insights produced by AI systems into actionable real-world knowledge. This section covers the following topics to help us understand the significance of XAI for continuous advancements toward trustworthy AI:

  • Considering the right to explanation
  • Driving inclusion with XAI
  • Mitigating business risks
