AI component Fundamentals
noun phrase
Definition: A functional part or module of a larger system (e.g., a robot or software platform) that implements AI-based capabilities such as perception, learning, reasoning, or decision-making [Anglo-Russian AI & Robotics Dictionary 2022].
Example in context: “For example, in a robotics use-case, external hardware factors (such as water damage or wear) can affect behavior, and thus have a place in an explanatory narrative. However, such factors are detached from XAI methods that only attempt to explain the AI component.” [Jacovi et al. 2023]
