// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Interpretability
The degree to which a human can understand the cause and effect of an AI system's internal workings.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Interpretability is a property of an AI model or its output, indicating the extent to which a human can readily comprehend the reasons behind a model's prediction or decision, often achieved through simpler models or post-hoc explanation techniques.
BACKGROUND
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.
