As artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms make further inroads into society, calls are increasing from multiple stakeholders for these algorithms to explain their outputs. At the same time, these stakeholders, whether they be affected citizens, government regulators, domain experts, or system developers, present different requirements for explanations. Toward addressing these needs, we introduce AI Explainability 360 (http://aix360.mybluemix.net/), an open-source software toolkit featuring eight diverse and state-of-the-art explainability methods and two evaluation metrics. Equally important, we provide a taxonomy to help entities requiring explanations to navigate the space of explanation methods, not only those in the toolkit but also in the broader literature on explainability. For data scientists and other users of the toolkit, we have implemented an extensible software architecture that organizes methods according to their place in the AI modeling pipeline. We also discuss enhancements to bring research innovations closer to consumers of explanations, ranging from simplified, more accessible versions of algorithms, to tutorials and an interactive web demo to introduce AI explainability to different audiences and application domains. Together, our toolkit and taxonomy can help identify gaps where more explainability methods are needed and provide a platform to incorporate them as they are developed.

  6. Position: Explainability Research Must Prioritize Foundations over Ad-hoc Methods

    cs.LG 2026-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Explainable AI research should prioritize definitions, properties, evaluations, and actionability over new ad-hoc methods, on evidence from 617 papers and 34 practitioners.

  7. XAI and Statistical Analysis for Reliable Intrusion Detection in the UAVIDS-2025 Dataset: From Tree to Hybrid and Tabular DNN Ensembles

    cs.CR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    XGBoost with SHAP and statistical distribution analysis on UAVIDS-2025 identifies density support intersection as the cause of false predictions for Wormhole and Blackhole attacks in UAV intrusion detection.

  8. Human-Centered Explainability in Interactive Information Systems: A Survey

    cs.HC 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A systematic review of 100 empirical user studies synthesizes explainability research into five conceptual dimensions, a design classification, and six measurement categories.
