Does the model need to be explainable for the users or affected persons?

Do you need to be able to give a clear explanation to the user about the logic that the AI system used to reach a certain decision? And can that decision have a big impact on the user?

If you answered Yes then you are at risk

If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too

Recommendations

  • Evaluate the type of models that you could use to solve the problem as specified in your task.
  • Consider what the impact is if certain black box models cannot be used and interpretability tools do not offer sufficient results. You might need to evaluate a possible change in strategy.
  • Data scientists can evaluate the impact from a technical perspective and discuss this with the rest of stakeholders. The decision keeps being a team effort.
