- [Instructor] Complex machine learning models are often considered to be black boxes, which simply means that no one, even the creator of the model, knows why the model made a certain recommendation or prediction. It just simply can't be explained. Explainable AI, or XAI, attempts to rectify the black box problem with machine learning models. The overall goal of XAI is to produce a model that can explain its rationale behind making certain decisions or predictions and call out its own strengths and weaknesses. XAI assists users of the model with knowing what to expect and how the model might perform. The ability to understand why a model chose one path over another path, and the typical errors a model will make, are a huge advancement in machine learning. This level of transparency and explainability helps to build trust in the predictions or outcomes produced by a model.
