By contributing your perspective, you will help identify areas of agreement, disagreement, and conceptual ambiguity among researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders. The session offers an opportunity to reflect, discuss, and engage with peers on the boundaries, meanings, and appropriate uses of XAI. While there is no direct financial benefit, your input may contribute to future research, publications, and methodological developments aimed at strengthening conceptual clarity and rigour in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your voice can help shape how the XAI community understands and defines its own foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Contribute to a foundational understanding of XAI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Share your perspective with a global community of experts<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Help guide the future of XAI research and practice<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Study<\/strong>: A 90-minute interactive session exploring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>What XAI is<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What it is not<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>When a system is truly XAI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>When \u201cexplainability\u201d is misused<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Goal<\/strong>: map agreement and disagreement\u2014not enforce a single definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who can participate?<\/strong> Researchers, academics, and practitioners attending XAI-2026 with interest or expertise in Explainable AI.
