EU Right to Explanation
The EU Right to Explanation grants individuals the right to understand decisions made by algorithms, but the role of Explainable AI in satisfying this right is not well understood. A recent systematic review explores the law-XAI translation gap in this context.
The EU Right to Explanation is a law that grants individuals the right to understand decisions made by algorithms that affect their lives. However, the role of Explainable AI (XAI) in satisfying this right is not well understood. A recent systematic review, published on arXiv, explores the law-XAI translation gap in the context of the EU Right to Explanation. The review focuses on Art. 15(1)(h) GDPR and Art. 86 AI Act, and considers papers published from 2024 onwards. The study identifies a significant gap between the legal requirements and the current state of XAI research.
The review highlights the need for further research on the application of XAI in the context of the EU Right to Explanation. The study also emphasizes the importance of developing XAI methods that can provide meaningful explanations for automated decisions. The implications of this research are significant, as individuals' ability to contest automated decisions that affect their lives depends on their understanding of these decisions. The study is a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion on the role of XAI in ensuring transparency and accountability in algorithmic decision-making.
