Explainable AI

A common criticism of AI is that it operates as a black box, providing no insight into how results are generated. In this seminar, Josh Fuchs, PhD, will introduce Explainable AI — a set of approaches for understanding and interpreting how classical Machine Learning models and Large Language Models produce their predictions. Understanding the 'why' behind AI outputs is essential for building appropriate trust, identifying bias, and supporting safe deployment in high-stakes settings like healthcare.
