Explaining machine learning models to the business

Explainable machine learning is a sub-discipline of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning that attempts to summarize how machine learning systems make decisions. Summarizing how machine learning systems make decisions can be helpful for a lot of reasons, like finding data-driven insights, uncovering problems in machine learning systems, facilitating regulatory compliance, and enabling users to appeal -- or operators to override -- inevitable wrong decisions. Of course all that sounds great, but explainable machine learning is not yet a perfect science. Figure 1: Explanations created by H2O Driverless AI. These explanations are probably better suited for data scientists than for business users.
