How can we make AI models more transparent and understandable?

This is a key challenge in Explainable AI. Traditional AI models, especially deep learning algorithms, are often "black boxes" where it's difficult to understand how they arrive at their decisions. This lack of transparency can be a major barrier to trust and adoption, especially in high-stakes applications like healthcare or finance.

There are several approaches to improving transparency in AI models:

• Simpler model architectures: Using simpler models with fewer layers and connections can make it easier to trace how the model arrives at its outputs.

• Feature importance analysis: This technique identifies which input features have the most impact on the model's predictions.

• Counterfactual explanations: These explanations show how a different input would have changed the model's output, helping to understand the model's reasoning.
