XAI

Learn in the textbookHow AI Works: Transparency and Human Involvement

DefinitionXAI (Explainable AI, 説明可能なAI) is the technology and approach of showing people, in a form they can follow, the grounds on which an AI reached its conclusion.

ExplanationAdvanced AI runs complex internal calculations, so it easily becomes a black box (ブラックボックス) where no one outside can see why it gave a result. XAI makes the grounds visible, raising the transparency (透明性) of decisions so people can check results and be accountable for them.

AnalogyLike an answer sheet that shows the working, not just the answer. With the working visible, you can find exactly where the reasoning went wrong.

Memory hookThe X at the front comes from "eXplainable."
