The Explainable AI Market size was valued at USD 5.10 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 24.58 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 21.5% during the forecast period, 2023-2030.
The surge of Industry 4.0, characterized by the convergence of advanced technologies and digital transformation across different industries, is pivotal in propelling the demand for explainable AI (XAI). In June 2022, the World Economic Forum and McKinsey conducted a collaborative survey, identifying 103 sites worldwide as great examples of Industry 4.0. These companies have successfully transformed their factories by embracing digital technologies. Through Industry 4.0, these organizations have become more agile and customer-focused than before by leveraging digital tools to enhance their operations. Moreover, integrating AI and XAI methods with Industry 4.0 technologies offers a wide range of accurate and high-quality applications.
In addition, with the growing adoption of deep learning and neural networks for critical decision-making processes, there is a growing need to understand and explain the underlying mechanisms of these models. For instance, in March 2023, Shopify and Google Cloud collaborated to showcase an integration that empowers retailers utilizing Shopify's Commerce Components with advanced AI and Google-quality search capabilities.
However, the lack of individuals equipped with the essential knowledge and training in data ethics, bias mitigation, transparency, and interpretability presents a significant restraint. Without the necessary skills and training, there is a risk of developing AI models that are biased, uninterpretable, or lack transparency, undermining trust and hindering the wider adoption of XAI solutions. On the other hand, the regulatory requirements by the government organizations will create opportunities for the deployment of explainable AI solutions as businesses and organizations seek to comply with the regulations and ensure transparency in their AI-driven decision-making processes.
