As we face technologies, mostly autonomous, machine-learned algorithms (AI) that elude a seamless explanation on how they work (“black boxes”), several issues both from an epistemological as well as ethical perspectives emerge. It is thus not surprising that there are plenty of technological attempts in illuminating the black box as well as philosophical efforts in conceptualizing and re- assessing our concepts of an explanation and understanding, as well emerging ethical questions on how to deal with this unexplainable technology. This book thus offers a succinct and comprehensive, opinionated but fair view on the emerging ethical debate on explainability of AI and its relevance for using AI for different more or less sensitive decision-making procedures. As a short book, the goal is to introduce the reader to the issues at hand while also offering normative arguments from different sides that motivate, complicate, and resolve these issues. Hendrik Kempt is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Applied Ethics Group, RWTH Aachen University, where he received his PhD in 2023. His work focuses mainly on questions of the ethics of human-machine interaction, of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, and of technology in general. He has previously published the monographs “Chatbots and the Domestication of AI” (2020) as well as “Synthetic Friends - A Philosophy of Human-Machine Friendship” (2022), edited a book with Megan Volpert on “RuPaul’s Drag Race and Philosophy”, and has written several journal articles and book chapters on the issues of ethics of technology. 0aSciencexSocial aspects. 0aCommunication in science. 0aRhetoric. 0aTechnology. 0aScience. 0aSciencexPhilosophy. 0aSciencexMoral and ethical aspects. 0aArtificial intelligence.14aScience and Technology Studies.24aRhetoric of Science and Technology.24aPhilosophy of Science.24aScience Ethics.24aArtificial Intelligence.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303168097708iPrinted edition:z978303168099108iPrinted edition:z978303168100440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-68098-4
