Methods and tools that help people understand why an AI model produced a particular prediction or decision.
Many modern AI models, especially deep neural networks, are difficult to interpret directly. Explainable AI, often shortened to XAI, includes techniques that reveal which inputs most influenced a result, simpler models that are easier to inspect, and clear documentation of how a system works and where it fails.
For example, if a lender uses a model to assess loan applications, explainability tools can show that income stability and existing debt drove a decision, helping staff give applicants a meaningful reason and check for unfair patterns. Explainability supports trust, debugging, and regulatory compliance in fields such as finance and healthcare. Its limits are real: explanations can be approximate or misleading, so they should support human judgment rather than replace testing and oversight.
