TRR 318-2 - Project B06: Ethics and normativity of explainable AI

B06 investigates the normative purposes of XAI. In the first funding period we have established that there are many different normative grounds for XAI. To assess them, it is necessary to take the organizational context of XAI into account. To that aim, media studies will clarify the organizational context in which XAI is embedded, where this context is considered as a socio-technical setting. Philosophy will explicate how XAI in the organizational context mediates epistemic and civic virtues. Both results will be synthesized into a reworked value sensitive design (VSD) method, which previously did not take organizational conditions into account.
