Why good AI should be able to show its work

What's happening: Explainable AI, also sometimes called transparent AI, has become a top priority for nearly all the big companies in the AI field, including Microsoft, Google, Intel, IBM and Oracle. The topic is also expected to come up in Thursday's White House meeting on AI. That sounds straightforward, even obvious. But it actually isn't a feature built into many of the deep learning systems that are currently available. No one size fits all: AI was a huge topic at Google's I/O developer conference this week, with some focus on explainability as well.
