摘要

Artificial intelligence (AI) has proliferated across all sectors of society: In economic and business domains, it can be used to forecast price changes, assess risk, and optimize business practices, among much more. Despite boosting performance, the use of AI tools in high-stakes contexts has clarified the need for increased model transparency. In the academic community, this need has greatly motivated research which interrogates and develops the interpretability and explainability of AI systems. This paper surveys the literature to provide a comprehensive overview of explainable and interpretable AI applied in economic and business domains. Our analysis establishes the most widely used models and techniques, the common challenges addressed, as well as the most receptive outlets for publication. A key component of our analysis is the identification of 15 main research macro-areas. Our survey provides practitioners with a detailed overview of the active research areas and, within them, research trends, illuminating avenues for future contributions.
