What should I do and why?

by Joris Hulstijn and Leon Van der Torre

There is a lot of interest in explainable AI [2, 11]. When a system takes decisions that affect people, they can demand an explanation of how the decision was derived, or a justification of why the decision is justified. Note that explanation and justification are related, but not the same [1]. The need for explanation or justification is more pressing, when the system makes legal decisions [3], or when the decision is based on social or ethical norms [5]. Requests for explanation and justification are typically made in a dialogue setting [5].
