Principles of Explainable Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Interpretability, Trustworthy AI & Large Language Model Explainability (Vol. 2)

As Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare, finance, autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity, education, and public decision-making, the demand for transparent, interpretable, fair, and trustworthy AI systems has never been greater. Modern AI models, particularly deep neural networks and Large Language Models (LLMs), deliver remarkable performance but often operate as highly complex black-box systems.

Principles of Explainable Artificial Intelligence: Advanced Interpretability, Trustworthy AI & Large Language Model Explainability (Vol. 2) builds upon the mathematical foundations introduced in Volume 1 by presenting advanced methods for interpreting, validating, evaluating, and verifying modern AI systems.

The book provides comprehensive coverage of LIME, Integrated Gradients, DeepLIFT, Anchors, TCAV, SHAP extensions, interpretable machine learning, deep neural network explainability, Grad-CAM, Layer-wise Relevance Propagation, transformer interpretability, attention analysis, attribution in Large Language Models, fairness metrics, AI ethics, formal verification, model checking, and future research directions in Explainable AI.

Readers will gain both theoretical understanding and practical insight into designing transparent AI systems capable of producing reliable, accountable, and human-understandable explanations across modern machine learning and deep learning applications.

Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, university faculty, AI engineers, software developers, data scientists, policymakers, and industry professionals, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to next-generation Explainable Artificial Intelligence.
