A group of researchers from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is coordinating an effort to better understand the reasoning artificial intelligence algorithms use to arrive at the conclusions they make. Despite the excitement about the potential for utilizing aspects of AI for machine learning and deep learning, widespread adoption in healthcare is some ways off. A better grasp of the reasoning processes could help those efforts. David Gunning, the program manager at Darpa overseeing the project, explained its motivation in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. The project involves 100 researchers at more than 30 universities and private institutions.
