Abstract
The rapid growth of clinical explainable AI (XAI) models raised concerns over unclear purposes and false hope regarding explanations. Currently, no standardised metrics exist for XAI evaluation. We developed a clinician-informed, 14-item checklist including clinical, machine and decision attributes. This is the first step toward XAI standardisation and transparent reporting XAI methods to enhance trust, reduce risks, foster AI adoption, and improve decisions to determine the true clinical potential of applied XAI.
期刊介绍:
npj Digital Medicine is an online open-access journal that focuses on publishing peer-reviewed research in the field of digital medicine. The journal covers various aspects of digital medicine, including the application and implementation of digital and mobile technologies in clinical settings, virtual healthcare, and the use of artificial intelligence and informatics.
The primary goal of the journal is to support innovation and the advancement of healthcare through the integration of new digital and mobile technologies. When determining if a manuscript is suitable for publication, the journal considers four important criteria: novelty, clinical relevance, scientific rigor, and digital innovation.
