Abstract

Understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) systems becomes more important as their use cases in real-world applications growth. Today’s AI systems are increasingly complex and ubiquitous. They will be responsible for making decisions that directly affect individuals. Explainable AI can potentially help by explaining actions, decisions and behaviours of AI systems to users. Our approach is to provide a tool with an interactive user interface in 3D. The tool visualizes deep learning network layers and allows interactive exploration on different levels of detail. The visualization then improves transparency and opacity of AI systems for experts and non-experts.
