Explainable AI: Opening the Black Box

The Practical AI Digest · Mar 31, 2026 · 24m · transcript

In this episode, we look at how researchers are making AI models more transparent and interpretable. We discuss techniques like SHAP values and LIME that explain model predictions by attributing importance to features! So an AI system isn’t just a black box, you can understand why it made a decision. You’ll hear about example use cases (like explaining a medical AI’s diagnosis to a doctor or a loan model’s decision to a loan officer) and recent research into interpreting the internals of neural networks (from visualizing what vision models detect to “probing” language models’ knowledge).
