systems transparent and
understandable to
humans. This is
particularly important in
fields like healthcare,
finance, and legal
systems, where the
implications of AI
decisions can be
profound. Research in
XAI focuses on

potential to solve
complex problems more
efficiently than classical
computers. Research in
this area focuses on
developing quantum
algorithms for machine
learning tasks, which
could revolutionize
fields like cryptography
and drug discovery.
3. Federated Learning This is a collaborative
machine learning
approach where models
are trained across
multiple decentralized
devices or servers
holding local data
samples, without
exchanging them. This
method enhances data
