What you'll learn

Agentic machine learning models, even when working correctly, are extremely complex and nondeterministic computer applications, to which traditional testing and explainability techniques don’t always apply. In this course, Large Language Model and Agentic AI Explainability, you’ll learn to build explainable agentic LLM systems and implement explainability in existing ones. First, you’ll learn to understand core concepts around explainability, such as why it is necessary (for example, to justify decisions which may affect the livelihoods or wellbeing of people) and why it is more difficult to implement than in traditional software applications. Next, you’ll discover chain-of-thought reasoning, how it’s used, and how to implement it in existing AI systems. Finally, you’ll learn about emerging methods of implementing explainability including attention visualization and image data attribution. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of explainability in agentic LLM systems needed to implement and maintain explainable LLM systems.
