• Abstract: This position paper presents a theoretical framework for enhancing explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) through emergent communication (EmCom), focusing on creating a causal understanding of AI model outputs. We explore the novel integration of EmCom into AI systems, offering a paradigm shift from conventional associative relationships between inputs and outputs to a more nuanced, causal interpretation. The framework aims to revolutionize how AI processes are understood, making them more transparent and interpretable. While the initial application of this model is demonstrated on synthetic data, the implications of this research extend beyond these simple applications. This general approach has the potential to redefine interactions with AI across multiple domains, fostering trust and informed decision-making in healthcare and in various sectors where AI's decision-making processes are critical. The paper discusses the theoretical underpinnings of this approach, its potential broad applications, and its alignment with the growing need for responsible and transparent AI systems in an increasingly digital world.

• A Mechanistic Explanatory Strategy for XAI [0.0]
  This paper outlines a mechanistic strategy for explaining the functional organization of deep learning systems. According to the mechanistic approach, the explanation of opaque AI systems involves identifying mechanisms that drive decision-making. This research suggests that a systematic approach to studying model organization can reveal elements that simpler (or ''more modest'') explainability techniques might miss.

• Advancing Interactive Explainable AI via Belief Change Theory [5.842480645870251]
  We argue that this type of formalisation provides a framework and a methodology to develop interactive explanations. We first define a novel, logic-based formalism to represent explanatory information shared between humans and machines. We then consider real world scenarios for interactive XAI, with different prioritisations of new and existing knowledge, where our formalism may be instantiated.

We present Counterfactual Explanations as Interventions in Latent Space (CEILS), a methodology to generate counterfactual explanations.
