How can we trust black box AI models
Presentation Synopsis:  Explainability is often proposed as the principle means of achieving AI model trust. However, there are many means of determining whether we can trust AI, and explainability is not always the best one. This lecture will lay out a framework to understand when explainability is needed, and when it is not, as well as its appropriate uses, limitations, and alternatives.
