As AI technologies become more integrated into critical areas such as legal, medical, and journalistic fields, the ability to explain how specific decisions and text outputs are generated becomes paramount. This is essential not only for compliance with regulations that demand transparency but also for building trust among users[14][20].
Moreover, the interpretability of XNLG models plays a significant role in addressing biases that may be embedded within AI systems. Traditional AI models often operate as “black boxes,” making it challenging to diagnose and rectify biases that could perpetuate discrimination against certain groups[20]. By implementing XAI techniques in NLG models, researchers aim to illuminate the decision-making processes, thereby allowing for the identification and mitigation of biases. This is particularly critical in sensitive applications such as banking and law enforcement, where the implications of biased decisions can be severe[20].
Another ethical challenge associated with XNLG involves data quality and uncertainty. Good quality explanations of AI reasoning must explicitly address how uncertainty and data quality impact the AI’s output[21]. This involves not only clarifying the sources of data and their reliability but also acknowledging the limitations and potential inaccuracies in the generated text. Such transparency is crucial for users to make informed decisions based on AI-generated content[1].
The social implications of XNLG also extend to the broader discourse on ethical AI. By enhancing the explainability and control of text generation models, researchers can contribute to a more responsible and ethical AI ecosystem. This involves developing frameworks that allow users to understand and influence the model’s decisions, thereby ensuring that AI-driven content aligns with societal values and norms[5]. Additionally, the integration of human-in-the-loop approaches can further enhance the comprehensibility and ethical use of NLG systems by involving human judgment in critical decision-making processes[1][22].
Finally, the responsible deployment of XNLG models is imperative for mitigating the risks associated with misinformation and the ethical implications of AI-generated content. As these models are increasingly used for generating news articles, social media posts, and other forms of content, ensuring their outputs are accurate and ethically sound becomes crucial[6]. Researchers must focus on developing methodologies that balance creativity with factual consistency and ethical considerations to foster a trustworthy AI environment[13].
