Perspectives for managing explainability of AI

PerspectivesDescriptionKey sources
Pragmatism in explainabilityUnderstanding explainability relationally and assessing the trustworthiness of AI in its communication with humans based on contextual and other factors that mediate the value of the explainability of the communicationFelzmann et al. (2019), Garibaldi (2019), Miller (2019), Robbins (2019b) 
Contextualization of the explanationAssessing tasks, capabilities and expectations of the AI system based on its context, which is everything that shapes and influences our perceptions, cognition and actions in a particular domainBellotti and Edwards (2001), European Commission (2019), Lawless et al. (2019), Lecue (2019), Miller (2019) 
Cohabitation of human agency and AI agencyExamining how responsibility for AI decisions and consequences should be distributed between humans and the AI systemAdadi and Berrada (2018), Coeckelbergh (2009, 2020), D'Acquisto (2020), Kroll (2018) 
Metrics and standardizationContext-specific as well as universal measures that can compare, evaluate and quantify explainability methods and their efficiency, outcomes and impactsArrieta et al. (2020), Doshi-Velez and Kim (2017), Garibaldi (2019), Gunning and Aha (2019), Gunning et al. (2019), Preece (2018) 
Regulatory and ethical principlesEthical and legal frameworks that ensure and promote human safety and autonomy in interactions with AI and maintain and encourage visibility and explainability in the use and propagation of AI systemsBertino et al. (2019), Hacker et al. (2020), Robbins (2019b), Stahl and Wright (2018), Tóth (2019) 
Other emerging solutionsInnovative and emerging solutions, particularly incorporating AI enveloping, blockchain and fuzzy systems, for improving and managing explainability in AIBertino et al. (2019), Fernandez et al. (2019), Floridi (2011), Garibaldi (2019), Kshetri (2019), Nassar et al. (2020), Robbins (2019b)
