Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is emerging as a critical field to address the “black box” nature of many machine learning (ML) models. While these models achieve high predictive accuracy, their opacity undermines trust, adoption, and ethical compliance in critical domains such as healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems. This research explores methodologies and frameworks to enhance the interpretability of ML models, focusing on techniques like feature attribution, surrogate models, and counterfactual explanations. By balancing model complexity and transparency, this study highlights strategies to bridge the gap between performance and explainability. The integration of XAI into ML workflows not only fosters trust but also aligns with regulatory requirements, enabling actionable insights for stakeholders. The findings reveal a roadmap to design inherently interpretable models and tools for post-hoc analysis, offering a sustainable approach to democratize AI.
