• Abstract: Developing and implementing AI-based solutions help state and federal government agencies, research institutions, and commercial companies enhance decision-making processes, automate chain operations, and reduce the consumption of natural and human resources. At the same time, most AI approaches used in practice can only be represented as "black boxes" and suffer from the lack of transparency. This can eventually lead to unexpected outcomes and undermine trust in such systems. Therefore, it is crucial not only to develop effective and robust AI systems, but to make sure their internal processes are explainable and fair. Our goal in this chapter is to introduce the topic of designing assurance methods for AI systems with high-impact decisions using the example of the technology sector of the US economy. We explain how these fields would benefit from revealing cause-effect relationships between key metrics in the dataset by providing the causal experiment on technology economics dataset. Several causal inference approaches and AI assurance techniques are reviewed and the transformation of the data into a graph-structured dataset is demonstrated.

  Artificial Intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) aims to combine the power of AI with the big data generated by IT Operations processes. We discuss in depth the key types of data emitted by IT Operations activities, the scale and challenges in analyzing them, and where they can be helpful. We categorize the key AIOps tasks as - incident detection, failure prediction, root cause analysis and automated actions.

  There is a certain consensus about the need to develop AI applications with a Human-Centric approach. Human-Centric Machine Learning needs to be developed based on four main requirements: (i) utility and social good; (ii) privacy and data ownership; (iii) transparency and accountability; and (iv) fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes. We study how current multimodal algorithms based on heterogeneous sources of information are affected by sensitive elements and inner biases in the data.

  We introduce a framework for understanding, modeling, and possibly solving issues of fairness in decision-making settings. The main insight of our approach will be to link the quantification of the disparities present on the observed data with the underlying, and often unobserved, collection of causal mechanisms. Our effort culminates in the Fairness Map, which is the first systematic attempt to organize and explain the relationship between different criteria found in the literature.

  Counterfactual explanations aim to provide to end users a set of features that need to be changed in order to achieve a desired outcome. Current approaches rarely take into account the feasibility of actions needed to achieve the proposed explanations. We present Counterfactual Explanations as Interventions in Latent Space (CEILS), a methodology to generate counterfactual explanations.
