This research topic will address the crucial question of how to build trust in human-centric AI models as opposed to the currently widespread AI black boxes, which do not meet the modern European requirements of explainability, trust and unbiasedness. We will validate the applicability of state-of-the-art XAI algorithms to financial applications and extend XAI frameworks, ensuring that complex models applied to financial use cases satisfy the explainability requirements of different stakeholders within the finance value chain and do not reinforce social biases. A qualitative evaluation of the comprehensive frameworks' insights into explainability will be made in comparison to the baseline models. Through industry-ready use cases, we will demonstrate for the first time ever the viability of the proposed framework for audience-dependent explanations, the novel time-series XAI methods, and the fair algorithmic designs.
