Explainable AI (XAI) stands at the forefront of a transformative movement, aiming to shed light on the opaque decision-making processes of AI systems. This practice responds to the challenges posed by the "black box" nature of many AI models, where the reasoning behind decisions remains concealed. [The] primary goal of explainable AI involves making AI systems' decisions transparent, interpretable, and understandable to humans. 7, record 1, English, - explainable%20AI
