Understanding AI outputs: study shows pro-western cultural bias in the way AI decisions are explained

Anne Fehres and Luke Conroy & AI4Media / Better Images of AI / Data is a Mirror of Us / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 Humans are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to inform decisions about our lives. AI is, for instance, helping to make hiring choices and offer medical diagnoses. If you were affected, you might want an explanation of why an AI system produced the decision it did. Yet AI systems are often so computationally complex that not even their designers fully know how the decisions were produced. That's why the development of "explainable AI" (or XAI) is booming.
