@TheKathrinH @FAccTConference Thanks! :)

[Timo S. @speithti]

I am incredibly proud to announce that my first paper as a sole author "A Review of Taxonomies of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) Methods" was #accepted at the prestigious @FAccTConference. Looking forward to presenting it in #Seoul this June!🤩

[Timo S. @speithti]

@kbeckh @FAccTConference Not yet, but I can send you the current version if you are interested :)

[Timo S. @speithti]

To clarify, the authors are not arguing against XAI. They do, however, say that exposing problems through XAI is like opening Pandora's box. This misuses the metaphor: "evil" is already in the world, and we can simply choose not to see all of it. But we should see all of it. 2/2

[Timo S. @speithti]

I just read an article that equates #ExplainableAI (#XAI) with opening Pandora's Box: https://t.co/yfCczlXYjB. I find this comparison misleading. Using opaque #ML algorithms is like opening Pandora's Box. XAI can help with the impossible: Trying to close Pandora's Box again. 1/2

@LarissaChazette More than deserved! 👍🏼👏🏼

[Timo S. @speithti]

As a young and aspiring researcher, you are always very proud when one of your works is cited. It is especially rewarding when the citing work builds significantly on your work and is also quite good. I was recently given this honor: https://t.co/N4CecSlzV6 1/3

They found that 13 of these organizations demand some form of explainability in their ethical guidelines, indicating the importance of explainability in modern business ethics. It's really nice to see your theoretical work put into practice like this. Thank you very much! 3/3

[Timo S. @speithti]

The authors of this work use an operationalization of explainability that I developed with great colleagues (including @LarissaChazette; https://t.co/F5niDJUp1O) to examine the ethical guidelines of 16 Finnish organizations for explainability requirements. 2/3

[LangersMarkus @LangersMarkus]

What happens when computer science, law, philosophy and psychology discuss #AI? Misunderstanding, confusion. 😥

What happens if they do this regularly? 🔥💡✍️
More on this soon in our paper on #XAI published in the journal Artificial Intelligence - with @speithti @ethicist_arbor
