As Artificial Intelligence is involved in more and more business and government decision-making processes the need for these models to explain their reasoning becomes critical.The Ethical AI principles of transparency, fairness and accountability simply cannot be achieved without X-AI, or Explainable AI, being crafted onto our AI decision making systems.Unfortunately, most effective and accurate AI models are black boxes – the internal workings that have led to the predictions are not explainable or intelligible.This is why we are developing AITHIX an X-AI software solution that can transform AI black boxes into glass boxes – AI systems that can explain their decision making.
