Explainable AI
Explainable AI (XAI)
Explainable AI is an emerging field focused on making the decision-making processes
of AI systems understandable to humans. As AI models become more complex,
especially deep learning systems, it becomes harder to interpret how they reach their
conclusions.
The need for XAI is particularly important in high-stakes fields like healthcare, finance,
and criminal justice, where opaque decisions can have serious consequences. By
providing human-understandable explanations, XAI improves trust, accountability, and
compliance with regulations.
Techniques for XAI include model-agnostic methods such as LIME (Local
Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations) and SHAP (SHapley Additive
exPlanations). These approaches approximate the behavior of complex models
locally to explain specific predictions.
Benefits and Challenges
While XAI offers greater transparency, there is a trade-off between model complexity
and interpretability. Simpler models are easier to explain but may be less accurate.
The challenge lies in developing methods that balance accuracy with
comprehensibility.
The future of XAI involves integrating interpretability into the design phase of AI
systems, rather than as an afterthought, ensuring that transparency is a core feature
of all AI applications.
