Explainability

Domain: Safety & Ethics

🎯 Motivation

The ability to explain why an AI made a specific decision. Critical for trust, especially in high-stakes domains.

πŸ“‹ Concrete Example

AI rejects a loan. Explainability: β€˜The rejection was based on: low credit score (60% weight), high debt ratio (30% weight), short employment history (10% weight).’ Reasons, not just a yes/no.

πŸ”— Analogy

A teacher explaining a grade - β€˜You got a B because: homework was excellent (40%) but the exam was average (60%).’ Explainability gives reasons for AI decisions.
