Reconciling Consistency-Based Diagnosis with Actual-Causality-Based Explanations
A new academic paper submitted to arXiv by Leopoldo Bertossi explores the theoretical connections between Consistency-Based Diagnosis (CBD) and Actual Causality within the framework of Explainable AI (XAI). The study aims to bridge two distinct areas that have historically received limited cross-disciplinary attention, particularly regarding CBD's role in XAI. By establishing links between CBD and concepts such as Actual Causality and Causal Responsibility, the research proposes a unified approach to generating explanations for AI systems. The author argues that integrating these methodologies could significantly enhance the field of Explainable AI and contribute to advancements in Explainable Data Management. This work highlights the potential for fruitful interactions between diagnostic reasoning and causal analysis, offering new perspectives on how AI decisions can be interpreted and validated. The paper serves as a foundational theoretical contribution rather than reporting on a specific industrial application or political event, focusing instead on logical structures and computational logic relevant to artificial intelligence researchers and data management specialists.
