Expert Interviews on Uncertainty-Aware Explanations

Bachelorarbeit, Masterarbeit

Overview

Expert perspectives play a crucial role in understanding the real-world applicability of AI systems, particularly when it comes to communicating uncertainty. This thesis will involve conducting semi-structured interviews with experts (e.g., medical professionals, data scientists, or policy advisors) to explore their views on the design and use of uncertainty-aware explanations in healthcare AI systems.

The goal is to analyze how experts perceive uncertainty communication, identify practical challenges, and uncover opportunities for integrating uncertainty-aware explanations into healthcare workflows. Findings will contribute to the development of user-centered, ethically aligned AI systems.
