Explainable AIBeta
Tools and frameworks to understand and interpret your machine learning models.
Understand AI output and build trust
Explainable AI is a set of tools and frameworks to help you understand and interpret predictions made by your machine learning models. With it, you can debug and improve model performance, and help others understand your models' behavior. You can also generate feature attributions for model predictions in AutoML Tables and AI Platform, and visually investigate model behavior using the What-If Tool.
Design interpretable and inclusive AI
Build interpretable and inclusive AI systems from the ground up with tools designed to help detect and resolve bias, drift, and other gaps in data and models. AI Explanations in AutoML Tables, AI Platform Predictions, and AI Platform Notebooks provide data scientists with the insight needed to improve datasets or model architecture and debug model performance. The What-If Tool lets you investigate model behavior at a glance.
Deploy AI with confidence
Grow end-user trust and improve transparency with human-interpretable explanations of machine learning models. When deploying a model on AutoML Tables or AI Platform, you get a prediction and a score in real time indicating how much a factor affected the final result. While explanations don’t reveal any fundamental relationships in your data sample or population, they do reflect the patterns the model found in the data.
Streamline model governance
Simplify your organization’s ability to manage and improve machine learning models with streamlined performance monitoring and training. Easily monitor the predictions your models make on AI Platform. The continuous evaluation feature lets you compare model predictions with ground truth labels to gain continual feedback and optimize model performance.
Features
AI Explanations
Receive a score explaining how much each factor contributed to the model predictions in AutoML Tables, inside your AI Platform Notebook, or via AI Platform Prediction API. Read the score explanation documentation.
What-If Tool
Investigate model performances for a range of features in your dataset, optimization strategies, and even manipulations to individual datapoint values using the What-If Tool integrated with AI Platform.
Continuous evaluation
Sample the prediction from trained machine learning models deployed to AI Platform. Provide ground truth labels for prediction inputs using the continuous evaluation capability. Data Labeling Service compares model predictions with ground truth labels to help you improve model performance.
Understanding how models arrive at their decisions is critical for the use of AI in our industry. We are excited to see the progress made by Google Cloud to solve this industry challenge. With tools like What-If Tool, and feature attributions in AI Platform, our data scientists can build models with confidence, and provide human-understandable explanations.

Introspection of models is essential for both model development and deployment. Oftentimes we tend to focus too much on predictive skill when in reality it’s the more explainable model that is usually the most useful, and more importantly, the most trusted. We are excited to see these new tools made by Google Cloud, supporting both our data scientists and also our models customers.

Model interpretability is critical to our ability to optimize AI and solve the problem in the best possible way. Google is pushing the envelope in Explainable AI through research and development. And with Google Cloud, we’re getting tried and tested technologies to solve the challenge of model interpretability and uplevel our data science capabilities.

We are leveraging neural networks to develop capabilities for future products. Easy-to-use, high-quality solutions that improve the training of our deep learning models are a prerogative for our efforts. We are excited to see the progress made by Google Cloud to solve problem of feature attributions and provide human-understandable explanations to what our models are doing.

Pricing
Explainable AI tools are provided at no extra charge to users of AutoML Tables or AI Platform. Note that Cloud AI is billed for node-hours usage, and running AI Explanations on model predictions will require compute and storage. Therefore, users of Explainable AI may see their node-hour usage increase.
