Ex­plain­ing Ex­plain­ab­il­ity – the pod­cast on Ex­plain­able Ar­ti­fi­cial In­tel­li­gence

This is the cover of our podcast "Explaining Explainability"
In the centre of the cover is a portrait of Prof. Dr. Britta Wrede. Below this is a horizontal bar with the title "Explaining Explainability". Below this is the text "moderated by Prof Britta Wrede". In the upper left corner is the logo of TRR 318.

How does the act of explanation, done by humans, work – and how can it be applied to AI systems? These questions are being investigated by the Collaborative Research Center “Constructing Explainability” at the universities of Bielefeld and Paderborn.

In this podcast we bring together the different disciplines: Two researchers from different fields discuss a concept around Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) from their point of view. The discussion is moderated by Professor Britta Wrede, professor for Medical Assistance Systems at Bielefeld University and an expert on Explainable Artificial Intelligence.

This is the thumbnail of the first two episodes of our podcast "Explaining Explainability".
The thumbnail shows the portrait fotos of Prof. Dr. Katharina Rohlfing, Prof. Dr. Britta Wrede and Prof. Dr. Philipp Cimiano in a row. Below this fotos is a horizontal blue bar with a writing. It says: "Explaining Explainability". Below this there is another writing saying: "moderated by Prof Britta Wrede. In the left upper corner there is the logo of TRR 318.

In this first episode we enter the topic of explainability from the perspectives of computer science and linguistics.

The guests are the speakers of the Collaborative Research Center, Prof. Katharina Rohlfing, psycholinguist at Paderborn University and Prof. Philipp Cimiano, computer scientist at Bielefeld University. The insights they are giving are about the motivation that drives them, the research goals they are pursuing and the societal impacts of XAI.

What is the difference between explainability and explaining? How does the act of explanation, done by humans, work – and how can it be applied to AI systems? Why is it even of such great importance for XAI? Prof. Britta Wrede is discussing these and other questions again with Prof. Katharina Rohlfing, psycholinguist at Paderborn University and Prof. Philipp Cimiano, computer scientist at Bielefeld University.

How do you know when someone has understood something? And how can explainers adapt their approach to promote better understanding? In this episode, Prof. Britta Wrede discusses these questions with Prof. Hendrik Buschmeier, a computational linguist at Bielefeld University, and Prof. Heike Buhl, a psychologist at Paderborn University.
