Recent years have witnessed intensive efforts to specify which requirements ethical artificial intelligence (AI) must meet. General guidelines for AI consider a varying number of principles important. A frequent novel element in these guidelines, that we bundled together under the term explicability, aims reduce black-box character machine learning algorithms. The centrality this invites reflection on conceptual relation between explicability and four bioethical principles. This is important...
