Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, autonomous systems are becoming increasingly integral to various domains, from healthcare to transportation. However, the black-box nature of many AI algorithms poses significant challenges concerning trust and transparency. This paper explores the application of explainable AI (XAI) techniques to address these issues. By providing insights into how AI arrives at decisions, XAI not only enhances transparency but also fosters trust among users and stakeholders. This study reviews prominent XAI methods such as LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations) and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), highlighting their effectiveness in different contexts. Practical examples from autonomous vehicle navigation and medical diagnostics illustrate the benefits of integrating XAI into AI-driven systems. The findings underscore the importance of developing robust XAI frameworks to promote responsible AI deployment and mitigate potential risks associated with opacity. Future directions for research and implementation are also discussed to further enhance the reliability and acceptance of autonomous systems in critical applications.
