Frequently asked questions

What is model interpretability and explainability (XAI)?

Model interpretability and explainability, often shortened to XAI, refers to the ability to understand how a machine learning model makes decisions. It’s about making complex AI systems more transparent and trustworthy.

Why is understanding AI decision-making important?

Understanding why an AI system makes a particular prediction is crucial, especially when those predictions have significant consequences – for example, in areas like finance or healthcare. Lack of transparency can lead to biased outcomes and eroded trust.

What are some techniques used in XAI?

Various techniques exist, including decision rule extraction, feature importance analysis, and visualizing the model’s internal workings. Each approach offers a different level of insight into the model's behavior.
