Pluralsight - Black Box Model Explainability

Do you ever wonder why your AI makes certain decisions? This course demystifies black box models, teaching you practical explainability techniques like LIME and SHAP to build transparent, trustworthy AI.
Complex AI models often function as "black boxes," creating real challenges for debugging, stakeholder communication, and ethical deployment. In this course, Black Box Model Explainability, you'll begin to understand why your AI makes particular decisions, shedding light on these intricate systems. First, you'll explore the characteristics and inherent challenges of black box models like SVMs and neural networks, and grasp why explainability is absolutely critical in today's AI landscape - from building trust to ensuring fairness. Next, you'll discover the different approaches to making models understandable, differentiating between intrinsic and post-hoc techniques, and see why the latter are essential for the complex models we often rely on. Finally, you'll learn to apply and evaluate key explainability techniques -- specifically LIME for intuitive local insights and SHAP for robust, game theory-backed explanations of your model's behavior. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the foundational skills and knowledge to choose and apply appropriate explainability methods, enabling you to understand, debug, and communicate how your complex AI models make decisions.
