Developing Explanations Together
Algorithmic approaches such as machine learning are becoming increasingly complex. This growing opacity makes it difficult to understand and accept the decisions proposed by artificial intelligence (AI). In the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio 318 “Constructing Explainability,” researchers are developing ways to actively involve users in the explanation process, thereby enabling co-constructive explanations. Since 2021, the interdisciplinary research team has been investigating the principles, mechanisms, and social practices of explanation and how these can be taken into account in the design of AI systems. The aim of the project is to provide users with relevant information in such a way that they can make informed decisions and participate actively and critically in a digital society.
