An explanation should help you review a decision.
What does it mean for an AI-assisted decision to be explainable? This paper proposes that a reviewer must be able to reconstruct it, challenge it, govern it, and understand its limits.
Design around the decision record: the evidence used, the reasoning applied, the uncertainty that remains, and the authority to act.
Auditable Decision Intelligence: A Decision-Centered Definition of Explainable AI for High-Stakes Decisions
Go deeper into the research
This conceptual preprint develops a decision-centered definition of explainable AI. Its four requirements—reconstructability, contestability, governability, and boundedness—shift attention from a fluent explanation to what a reviewer can actually inspect and control. It is a research proposal, not a certification or a measured deployment result.
