Practical implications of XAI
Algorithmic transparency: Ethical considerations:
How algorithms process data and make XAI to address ethical AI concerns:
decisions biases, discrimination, compliance, etc.
Local and global interpretability: Human-AI collaboration:
Understand system behavior for a Reliable collaboration based on trust and
specific prediction, vs feedback
Understand system overall behavior on a
dataset or problem
