Questions about explainable AI typically deal with the \u0022blackbox problem,\u0022 which relates to epistemic accessibility of the internal workings of machine intelligences.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EConklin argues that overcoming the blackbox problem and creating explainable AI is essential to making sense of AI responsibility. Questions about machine responsibility typically take one of two forms, namely those having to do with the responsible use of machines like AI and those having to do with the responsibility gap \u2013 i.e., the problem of responsibility attributions for machines executing problematic and potentially harmful behavior. This paper is concerned with the role of explainable AI in the latter context. To progress her argument,\u0026nbsp;Conklin applies Nomy Arpaly\u0027s account of moral-worthiness to identify the conditions under which an AI with moral status can be held accountable, especially with regards to blame. This account specifies certain epistemic and normative requirements on the success condition for AI explainability, at least from the standpoint of AI accountability. In particular, this account specifies the kind of information humans need access to in order to know that an AI is accountable for its behavior and to act on that knowledge. To count as explainable, that information must be available to us.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEthics \u0026amp; Coffee with Sherri Conklin\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Ethics \u0026 Coffee with Sherri Conklin"}],"uid":"36009","created_gmt":"2023-10-16 13:38:45","changed_gmt":"2023-10-16 13:39:03","author":"cwhittle9","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-10-19T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-10-19T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-10-19T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-10-19 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-10-19 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-10-19 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Savant Building, Room 115 and Online","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/45zhOH9","title":"Join Online"}],"groups":[{"id":"1289","name":"School of Public Policy"},{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMichael Hoffmann\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nm.hoffmann@gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
