Explainable AI (XAI) is an emerging field of AI that allows AI models and its results to be easily understood by humans, which drastically benefits iGaming businesses and businesses in general, when explaining, showcasing and demonstrating the purpose of AI models and results to shareholders, regulators, end-users and auditors.


In the context of iGaming businesses, XAI plays a vital role in replying to the concerns related to fairness, accountability, and regulatory compliance. With the required techniques, these businesses can provide detailed insights into how AI models make decisions, detect biases, and ensure a fair and transparent gaming environment. This level of transparency helps build trust among users, as they can understand and verify the rationale behind AI-driven recommendations, game outcomes, and personalised experiences.


XAI improves decision-making while explaining complex AI models like deep learning neural networks, additionally this type of AI can ensure fair and ethical decisions around the results of other AI models, something that is of hot debate in recent months. 


Explainable AI highly benefits sportsbook solution providers and operators as it allows for greater management of AI models, its results and overall, allowing companies to make well-informed decisions and creating understanding of the impact of AI technologies on industries and end-users. In other words, XAI empowers organisations to showcase the reliability, ethical compliance, and overall benefits of their AI system.


Below are some methods of XAI that you could already be implementing into common practice alongside your AI models.


  • Decision trees
  • Feature importance
  • Rule-based systems 
  • Shapley Values
  • Mode-agnostic techniques (LIME /SHAP)


XAI can be best and most effective when incorporated into industries handling sensitive data like iGaming, finance, healthcare and criminal justice, to name a few.
