How can we ensure that AI is transparent and explainable? Ensuring that AI is transparent and explainable involves several key steps: Interpretable Models: Use interpretable models and understand how different features influence the model’s decisions. Understanding Changes: Understand how small changes in input data can affect the model’s decisions. Explaining Decisions: Explain the model’s decisions in a way that is easy for humans to understand. Transparency Measures: Implement measures such as interpretability and explainability, communication, auditability, traceability, information provision, record-keeping, data governance and management, and documentation
