Explainable Generative AI (GenXAI): A Survey, Conceptualization, and Research Agenda

Understand

Generative AI (GenAI) marked a shift from AI being able to recognize to AI being able to generate solutions for a wide variety of tasks.

• As the generated solutions and applications become increasingly more complex and multi-faceted, novel needs, objectives, and possibilities have emerged for explainability (XAI).
• In this work, we elaborate on why XAI has gained importance with the rise of GenAI and its challenges for explainability research.
• We also unveil novel and emerging desiderata that explanations should fulfill, covering aspects such as verifiability, interactivity, security, and cost.
