The Explainable AI event, organized by the European Digital Education Hub, took place in Brussels on the 17th and 18th of October 2024. The event, which brought together professionals from the education, instructional technology, and technology sectors, aimed to stimulate discussions and learning about Explainable AI (XAI) for education, AI literacy, and various viewpoints on XAI. The collaborative workshops aimed to conclude with policy recommendations that would improve the integration of XAI in educational environments. As an autonomous project, the event aimed to improve the understanding and implementation of XAI throughout Europe.
