Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has emerged as a critical area of research, ensuring that AI systems are transparent, interpretable, and accountable. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of various methods and applications of Explainable AI. We delve into the importance of interpretability in AI models, explore different techniques for making complex AI models understandable, and discuss real-world applications where explainability is crucial. Through this paper, I aim to shed light on the advancements in the field of XAI and its potentialto bridge the gap between AI's predictions and human understanding.
