K Shabna, R Anoop, K M Sheena · 2025
The fifth industrial revolution, known as Industry 5.0, emphasizes human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. Within this framework, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) plays a vital role by making AI systems transparent, interpretable, and accountable. Unlike black-box models, XAI enables users and decision-makers to understand, trust, and effectively collaborate with AI tools. This paper explores the core concepts of Explainable AI and its synergy with Industry 5.0, highlighting its impact across intelligent manufacturing, human-machine teaming, and regulatory environments. We also address the key challenges in balancing performance and explainability while ensuring ethical AI deployment in industrial settings.
