Algorithmic Governance for Explainability: A Comparative Overview of Progress and Trends

Abstract: The explainability of AI has transformed from a purely technical issue to a complex issue closely related to algorithmic governance and algorithmic security. The lack of explainable AI (XAI) brings adverse effects that can cross all economic classes and national borders. Despite efforts in governance, technical, and policy exchange have been made in XAI by multiple stakeholders, including the public sector, enterprises, and international organizations, respectively. XAI is still in its infancy. Future applications and corresponding regulatory instruments are still dependent on the collaborative engagement of all parties.
