A question of trust: developing explainable AI for responsible medical decision-making

 

The research project ‘A question of trust: developing explainable AI for responsible medical decision-making’ at the Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation is focussing on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in gastroenterology. The aim is to increase trust and acceptance of these technologies among doctors by developing and implementing explainable AI systems. As part of the project, existing AI models that support doctors in diagnosis and treatment will be expanded to include explanatory components. These are intended to provide visual and textual explanations of AI decisions in real time and thus improve the transparency and comprehensibility of AI-supported processes. The research work includes the preparation of relevant data, the development of specific explainability methods and the integration and evaluation of the explanation-based systems in clinical practice. This should not only increase diagnostic precision, but also promote the general acceptance of AI in medical diagnostics.
