Building Trust in Artificial Intelligence: A Necessity for Railway Applications

The article discusses the necessity of building trust in AI for railway applications, highlighting that AI is currently limited to non‑safety critical uses due to stringent industry standards. It proposes focusing on three key areas—robustness, Operational Design Domain (ODD), and explainability—to meet compliance and safety requirements. By integrating these domains within a safe MLOps environment, the authors argue that regulatory acceptance and public confidence can be achieved, enabling broader AI adoption in mission‑critical railway systems.

Towards a Unified Multidimensional Explainability Metric: Evaluating Trustworthiness in AI Models

arXiv:2607. 14315v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for assessing the explainability of various XAI methods, such as LIME and SHAP, across multiple datasets and machine learning models, with the ultimate goal of creating a unified multidimensional explainability score.

The Gold in Bias: Maturing the AI Design Process through Verification

The paper proposes rethinking bias in AI as a diagnostic tool rather than merely a flaw to be minimized. It introduces a multidimensional framework that examines bias across origin, lifecycle emergence, technical causes, and validation methods, covering 30 bias types, 16 verification methods, and 20 countermeasures for both traditional and generative AI. The authors present a hierarchical evidence framework distinguishing internal and external validity, and advocate for Ethics by Design principles to embed bias verification throughout the AI development lifecycle.
