Abstract:
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems increase in capability, so there are growing concerns over the ways in which the recommendations they provide can affect people's everyday life and decisions. The field of Explainable AI (XAI) aims to address such concerns but there is often a neglect of the human in this process. We present a formal definition of human-centred XAI and illustrate the application of this formalism to the design of a user interface. The user interface supports users in indicating their preferences relevant to a situation and to compare their preferences with those of a computer recommendation system. A user trial is conducted to evaluate the resulting user interface. From the user trial, we believe that users are able to appreciate how their preferences can influence computer recommendations, and how these might contrast with the preferences used by the computer. We provide guidelines of implementing human-centred XAI.
