AI Explainability 360 is at home in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data, smart data and automation. The term stands for an open software platform that helps to make artificial intelligence (AI) decisions transparent and comprehensible.
AI is often a "black box": it makes decisions, but humans don't understand why. This is exactly where AI Explainability 360 comes in. It offers tools and methods to uncover the reasons behind AI decisions. This enables developers and companies to understand how the system works and better evaluate the results. This creates trust and makes the use of AI fairer and safer - especially where decisions have an impact on people, for example in the case of loans or job applications.
One example: a bank uses AI to make lending decisions. Thanks to AI Explainability 360, it can explain to its customers why a particular application was rejected or approved, for example because income or debt level played a role. In this way, the platform promotes fairness, transparency and legal certainty when using artificial intelligence.
