Artificial intelligence -- Assessing the decision-making process

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms such as Deep Learning have become part of our daily lives. The technology is used in everything from translation services to improving medical diagnostics and banking to creating computer models in climate science. Our current machines have been very successful at solving hard application problems, displaying seemingly intelligent behavior. Based on the ever-increasing amount of data and more complicated computers available today, learning algorithms appear to reach human capabilities. But the question still remains - Users still don't know exactly how AI systems reach their conclusions. Researchers from TU Berlin, Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) wanted to know if AI systems were truly intelligent or did they make some lucky guesses.
