Module 4: Explainable AI (XAI)
View
Understand the importance of explainability in AI and its role in building ethical AI systems.
In Module 4, we cover:
Lesson 4.1: Introduction to Explainable AI
Lesson 4.2: Why Explainability Matters in AI
Lesson 4.3.: XAI Tools and Methods
Lesson 4.4.: Practical Steps for Implementing XAI
Lesson 4.5: Challenges and Future Directions in XAI Implementation
LESSON 4.5: CHALLENGES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN XAI IMPLEMENTATION
Despite its benefits, XAI faces several challenges:
- Trade-Offs Between Accuracy and Interpretability: Simpler, interpretable models may lack the predictive power of complex “black-box” models. Striking a balance between accuracy and interpretability is essential.
- Risk of Over-Simplification: In making models interpretable, there is a risk of oversimplifying explanations, which may lead to misinterpretations.
- Potential for Misuse: XAI tools may be used to justify biased models if explanations are manipulated or selectively presented to appear unbiased.
- Interactive Explanations: Combining visualizations with interactive elements to allow users to explore different aspects of model behavior.
- Enhanced Fairness Metrics: Integrating fairness considerations directly into explainability tools to ensure that XAI supports bias mitigation.
- Real-Time Interpretability: Developing XAI methods that work in real-time, particularly for applications in healthcare, finance, and security.
