It brings together theoretical foundations and practical applications of explainable AI (XAI) aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), offering insights into its potential for responsible innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt provides a comprehensive understanding of how explainable AI enhances trust, ethics, and accountability in AI-driven decisions. Through diverse case studies — from banking, e-commerce, and sustainability reporting, to psychiatry, education, and energy—the book demonstrates XAI’s transformative role in driving sustainable business practices and societal well-being. Each chapter merges cutting-edge research with real-world examples, making complex AI systems more accessible and socially relevant. The book bridges gaps between disciplines, offering a holistic and actionable perspective on AI for sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a vital resource for researchers, professionals, and policymakers seeking to harness AI responsibly. Academics in social sciences, economics, and information systems will find a strong theoretical base, while practitioners in business, government, and NGOs gain practical tools for implementing XAI in real contexts. It is also well-suited for students, educators, and AI enthusiasts aiming to align innovation with sustainable, ethical transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at http:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEwa Wanda Ziemba\u003c\/strong\u003e is a full professor of management at the University of Economics in Katowice, Poland, and an ordinary member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in Salzburg, Austria.
