The book is a collection of cutting-edge research on the topic of explainable agency in artificial intelligence (XAI), including counterfactuals, fairness, human evaluations, and iterative and active communication among agents.
This book focuses on a subtopic of explainable AI (XAI) called explainable agency (EA), which involves producing records of decisions made during an agent’s reasoning, summarizing its behavior in human-accessible terms, and providing answers to questions about specific choices and the reasons for them. We distinguish explainable agency from interpretable machine learning (IML), another branch of XAI that focuses on providing insight (typically, for an ML expert) concerning a learned model and its decisions. In contrast, explainable agency typically involves a broader set of AI-enabled techniques, systems, and stakeholders (e.g., end users), where the explanations provided by EA agents are best evaluated in the context of human subject studies.

The chapters of this book explore the concept of endowing intelligent agents with explainable agency, which is crucial for agents to be trusted by humans in critical domains such as finance, self-driving vehicles, and military operations. This book presents the work of researchers from a variety of perspectives and describes challenges, recent research results, lessons learned from applications, and recommendations for future research directions in EA. The historical perspectives of explainable agency and the importance of interactivity in explainable systems are also discussed. Ultimately, this book aims to contribute to the successful partnership between humans and AI systems.

Dr. Silvia Tulli is an Assistant Professor at Sorbonne University. She received her Marie Curie ITN research fellowship and completed her Ph.D. at Instituto Superior Técnico. Her research interests lie at the intersection of explainable AI, interactive machine learning, and reinforcement learning. Dr. David W. Aha (UC Irvine, 1990) serves as the Director of the AI Center at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. His research interests include goal reasoning agents, deliberative autonomy, case-based reasoning, explainable AI, machine learning (ML), reproducible studies, and related topics.
