## Abstract (arXiv)

This Study introduces Clarity and Reasoning Interface for Artificial Intelligence(ClarifAI), a novel approach designed to augment the transparency and interpretability of artificial intelligence (AI) in the realm of improved decision making. Leveraging the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) methodology and integrating an ontology-driven approach, ClarifAI aims to meet the intricate explanatory demands of various stakeholders involved in AI-powered applications. The paper elaborates on ClarifAI's theoretical foundations, combining CBR and ontologies to furnish exhaustive explanation mechanisms. It further elaborates on the design principles and architectural blueprint, highlighting ClarifAI's potential to enhance AI interpretability across different sectors and its applicability in high-stake environments. This research delineates the significant role of ClariAI in advancing the interpretability of AI systems, paving the way for its deployment in critical decision-making processes.
