Abstract [eng] |
The technological maturity of AI solutions has been consistently increasing over the years, expanding its application scope and domains. Smart home systems have evolved to act as proactive assistants for their residents, autonomously detecting behavioral patterns, inferring needs, and making decisions pertaining to the management and control of various home subsystems. The implementation of explainable AI (XAI) solutions in this challenging domain can improve user experience and trust by providing clear and understandable explanations of the system’s behavior. The article discusses the increasing importance of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in smart home systems, which are becoming progressively smarter and more accessible to end-users, and presents an agent-based approach for developing explainable Internet of things (IoT) systems and an experiment conducted at the Centre of Real Time Computer Systems at the Kaunas University of Technology. The proposed method was adapted to build an explainable, rule-based smart home system for controlling light, heating, and ventilation. The results of this study serve as a demonstration of the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed theoretical approach in real-world scenarios. |
