Human-Centred XAI: Enhancing AI Acceptability for Healthcare

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape healthcare, the acceptability of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) remains paramount. This workshop delves into the convergence of XAI and healthcare, with a focus on fostering acceptability through human-in-the-loop oversight. Participants will engage in discussions on practical applications, challenges, and strategies for developing transparent, interpretable, and ethically sound AI solutions in healthcare. Through exploration of challenges, sharing of best practices, and facilitated discussions, the workshop aims to empower participants to navigate the intricacies of XAI implementation in healthcare, ensuring that AI systems are not only accurate but also understandable and trusted by end-users.

Topics of Interest (but not limited to):

1. Interpretable Models in Healthcare:
   Exploring challenges and solutions in developing AI models that are not only accurate but also interpretable in healthcare applications.

2. User Trust and Acceptance:
   Examining factors influencing user trust and acceptance of XAI in healthcare, considering the unique ethical considerations and sensitivities of the domain.

3. Ethical Considerations:
   Discussing the ethical implications of AI in healthcare and how incorporating human-in-the-loop oversight can address concerns related to bias, fairness, and accountability.

4. Practical Implementation:
   Sharing experiences and case studies related to the practical implementation of XAI in healthcare settings, highlighting success stories and lessons learned.
