Dramatic success in machine learning has led to a new wave of artificial intelligence applications that offer extensive benefits to our daily lives. The loss of explainability during this transition, however, means vulnerability to vicious data, poor model structure design, and suspicion of stakeholders and the general public -- all with a range of legal implications. The dilemma has called for the study of explainable AI (XAI) which is an active research field that aims to make AI systems results more understandable to humans. This is a field with great hopes for improving the trust and transparency of AI-based systems and is considered a necessary route for AI to move forward. This guide provides a technological blueprint for building, deploying and managing machine learning models while meeting the requirements of transparent and trustworthy AI by adopting a variety of XAI methodologies. It defines the architectural framework and application guidelines for explainable AI, including: 1) description and definition of XAI, 2) the types of XAI methods and the application scenarios to which each type applies, 3) performance evaluation of XAI.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
