Quotes attributable to Associate Professor Shafiabady:
"eXplainable Artificial Intelligence can be used to predict unemployment and identify and interpret the factors which have caused it.”
“eXplainable AI is a combination of algorithms and methods that are used to answer the ‘why’ behind the decisions which are made by the Artificial Intelligence systems. We can explain the rules of how the expert system has come to a specific decision.”
“Using eXplainable AI, economists can play hypothetical scenarios on modifying the interest rates and identify and mitigating the risks and the negative effects of unemployment on the economy.”
“Through eXplainable AI, the economists can also make informed decisions on specific regions which would require more attention and create informed interventions to enhance the economy for the people of Australia.”
