The AI to Advance Well-being and Society Research Hub at the University of Hong Kong (HKU-AI WiSe), and HKU -Cambridge Clean Energy and Environment Research Platform, led by Prof. Victor OK Li and Dr. Jacqueline CK Lam, have been addressing societal and healthcare problems using AI and big data technologies, and advocating AI for Social Good. Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, are a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can process vast amounts of text data to generate human-like responses to prompts. However, to support sound decision-makings, there is a need for a clear understanding of the decision-making processes and the driving factors. Unfortunately, AI is not yet fully explainable or interpretable, which can limit its usefulness in decision-makings. In addition, there are limitations to the accuracy and reliability of LLMs due to their dependence on the quality of the training data and their inability to understand the context of information. In this talk, we survey some of the existing work in explainability/interpretability of AI models, and study how they may be used to improve the interpretability and reliability of future LLMs to make them more useful in decision-making contexts.
