@book{65065, abstract = {{Abstract This introduction sets the stage for the present book. Whereas research in eXplainable AI (XAI) is motivated by societal changes and values, technology development largely ignores social aspects. This book aims to address this research gap with a systematic and comprehensive social view on explainable AI. Besides introducing many relevant concepts, the book offers first access to their possible implementation, thus advancing the development of more social XAI. The introduction starts by connecting the topic to the general research field of XAI. The second part defines the novel approach of social eXplainable AI (sXAI) along the three characteristics of social interaction such as patternedness, incrementality, and multimodality. Finally, the third part explains the structure followed by each chapter. The book offers insights not only for readers who work on technology development but also for those working in sociotechnical fields. Addressing an interdisciplinary readership, the book is an invitation for more exchange and further development of the sXAI field.}}, editor = {{Rohlfing, Katharina J. and Främling, Kary and Lim, Brian and Alpsancar, Suzana and Thommes, Kirsten}}, isbn = {{9789819652891}}, publisher = {{Springer Nature Singapore}}, title = {{{Social Explainable AI}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-981-96-5290-7_1}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inbook{61323, author = {{Wrede, Britta and Buschmeier, Hendrik and Rohlfing, Katharina Justine and Booshehri, Meisam and Grimminger, Angela}}, booktitle = {{Social Explainable AI}}, editor = {{Rohlfing, Katharina J. and Främling, Kary and Alpsancar, Suzana and Thommes, Kirsten and Lim, Brian Y.}}, pages = {{227--245}}, publisher = {{Springer}}, title = {{{Incremental communication}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-981-96-5290-7_12}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inbook{61321, author = {{Grimminger, Angela and Buschmeier, Hendrik}}, booktitle = {{Social Explainable AI}}, editor = {{Rohlfing, Katharina J. and Främling, Kary and Alpsancar, Suzana and Thommes, Kirsten and Lim, Brian Y.}}, pages = {{351--365}}, publisher = {{Springer}}, title = {{{Theoretical aspects of multimodal processing}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-981-96-5290-7_18}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{65066, abstract = {{Abstract We investigate whether the recently approved reforms of the apportionment of parliamentary seats to parties in the German Bundestag affects the parties’ political influence measured by power indices.

The $p$-mass function is described in terms of boundary averages associated with Busemann functions for $p<2$, while for $p\ge 2$, it is expressed through convolution with the ground spherical function.

To preserve their integrity over long timescales, the information‐carrying DONs are often stored in a frozen state. Here, we investigate the effect of repeated freeze–thaw (F/T) cycles on the structural and functional integrity of DONs carrying biotin (Bt) modifications. Streptavidin (SAv) binding is used to visualize the stored information by atomic force microscopy (AFM) before and after 40 F/T cycles. Two strategies are compared by F/T cycling of (I) SAv‐bound DONs and (II) SAv‐free DONs that are exposed to SAv directly before AFM imaging. Our results reveal that while the DONs retain their overall shape, F/T cycling induces a small amount of damage, leading to slightly reduced SAv binding. Adding glycerol at mM concentrations efficiently protects the DONs and restores the original SAv binding yields. Nevertheless, SAv exposure after F/T cycling leads to slightly higher and more consistent SAv binding yields and a lower background of nonspecifically adsorbed SAv compared to Strategy I. This makes information readout by AFM more efficient and renders Strategy II more convenient for long‐term storage of information‐carrying DONs with repeated information readout.}}, author = {{Li, Xinyang and Rabbe, Lukas and Linneweber, Jacqueline and Grundmeier, Guido and Keller, Adrian Clemens}}, issn = {{2628-9725}}, journal = {{Chemistry–Methods}}, number = {{3}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Stability of Information‐Carrying DNA Origami Nanostructures During Repeated Freeze–Thaw Cycles}}}, doi = {{10.1002/cmtd.202500161}}, volume = {{6}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{65081, author = {{Schwede, Jana}}, journal = {{berufsbildung}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{44--46}}, publisher = {{wbv}}, title = {{{Drei Lernorte, (k)ein Zusammenwirken?

In a dialog between explainer and explainee, the explanans presented in every explanation move have to relate to each other understandably and coherently in order to remain trustworthy. This signifies that the generated explanantia have to be consistent—independently of what question is answered by each explanans, in what modality, in what vocabulary, and at what level of abstraction. Moreover, it is advantageous to be able to provide a rich palette of different kinds of explanantia in order to be able to have a fluent dialog in which the explanantia can be generated and adapted to the context, the explainee, feedback, reactions during the interaction with the explainee, and so forth. This chapter attempts to identify relevant questions that an explainee might ask during an explanatory dialog, and it assesses to what extent different XAI methods are capable of addressing these questions in a coherent way. The Contextual Importance and Utility (CIU) method is used to illustrate how an XAI method can generate explanantia for most of the identified questions. CIU also provides a flexibility in how explanatory content is generated that makes it possible to create a meaningful dialog with the explainee.}}, author = {{Främling, Kary and Thommes, Kirsten and Wrede, Britta}}, booktitle = {{Social Explainable AI}}, isbn = {{9789819652891}}, publisher = {{Springer Nature Singapore}}, title = {{{Generation of Explanatory Content and Requirements for Social XAI}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-981-96-5290-7_15}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inbook{65088, abstract = {{Abstract Quantitatively evaluating the benefits of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and social XAI for humans is not a trivial pursuit. Therefore, we categorize the potential measures in terms of subjective and objective outcomes and short- and long-term outcomes of interactive social XAI. When reviewing the current state of the art, we observed some measurement problems in the literature: (a) Researchers do not clearly state whether they want to measure the inner state of users, users’ behavioral response, or the overall AI-human collaborative performance. (b) Moreover, most measures implicitly assume that all humans either do not react or improve in attitudes or performance. Psychological reactance (feeling or doing the opposite) is usually not captured. (c) Many researchers invent their own scale when measuring psychological constructs, thereby jeopardizing the validity of their measures and slowing down progress in the field, because general evidence and subsequent learning can be achieved only by collecting many compatible pieces of evidence.
