Get more insights in techniques that can be applied to achieve explainable and trustworthy AI.

Artificial Intelligence nowadays are complex and sophisticated algorithms that sometimes make it difficult for the humans to understand and interpret the decisions or suggestions of the AI system.

Explainable AI puts the following properties on the foreground to deliver trust:

  • Gaining trust by explaining for example the characteristics of AI output.
  • By explaining an AI technique understanding will increase, allowing to investigate if the technique can be transferred to another domain or problem.
  • Informing a user about the workings of an AI model so that there is no misinterpretation.
  • Confidence of users can be established by using AI models that are explainable, stable but also robust.
  • When explaining AI models issues concerning privacy awareness come into play. Private data should not be exposed by the models.
  • It is important that actions can be explained. How have we come to specific outcomes and how could we change them?
