AI Trust: Can Explainable AI Enhance Warranted Trust?

Table 3

ANOVA results for the main effect of the XAI type on the dependent variables. Among these dependent variables, MDMT, AI understandability, and XAI quality exhibit a significant main effect related to the XAI model. In particular, direct subjective trust demonstrates trends analogous to other self-reported measures: trust levels were elevated when LIME explanations were presented. Pairwise statistically significant comparisons are shown by the symbols and †. Furthermore, a strong correlation is observed between the two subjective trust measures, MDMT and direct subjective trust (, ).
