Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming decision-making in critical fields like healthcare, finance, and governance.However, its "black box" nature undermines trust and comprehension.Explainable AI (XAI) addresses this by enhancing transparency and interpretability, yet aligning explainability with human cognitive and emotional needs remains challenging.This paper explores principles and methodologies for designing human-centered XAI, emphasizing user profiling, dynamic explanations, and ethical considerations like fairness and accountability.Key contributions include adaptive explanations tailored to diverse user needs and strategies to mitigate biases, advancing AI systems that are transparent, accessible, and trustworthy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
