| Sumario: | An explainable machine learning model is a requirement for trust. Without it the human operator cannot form a correct mental model and will distrust and reject the machine learning model. Nobody will ever trust a system which exhibit an apparent erratic behaviour. The development of eXplainable AI (XAI) techniques try to uncover how a model works internally and the reasons why they make some predictions and not others. But the ultimate objective is to use these techniques to guide the training and deployment of fair automated decision systems that support human agency and are beneficial to humanity. In addition, automated decision systems based on Machine Learning models are being used for an increasingly number of purposes. However, the use of black-box models and massive quantities of data to train them make the deployed models inscrutable. Consequently, predictions made by systems integrating these models might provoke rejection by their users when they made seemingly arbitrary predictions. Moreover, the risk is compounded by the use of models in high-risk environments or in situations when the predictions might have serious consequences. |
