Explainable AI frameworks: navigating the present challenges and unveiling innovative applications

This study delves into the realm of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) frameworks, aiming to empower researchers and practitioners with a deeper understanding of these tools. We establish a comprehensive knowledge base by classifying and analyzing prominent XAI solutions based on key attributes like explanation type, model dependence, and use cases. This resource equips users to navigate the diverse XAI landscape and select the most suitable framework for their specific needs. Furthermore, the study proposes a novel framework called XAIE (eXplainable AI Evaluator) for informed decision-making in XAI adoption. This framework empowers users to assess different XAI options based on their application context objectively. This will lead to more responsible AI development by fostering transparency and trust. Finally, the research identifies the limitations and challenges associated with the existing XAI frameworks, paving the way for future advancements. By highlighting these areas, the study guides researchers and developers in enhancing the capabilities of Explainable AI.
