## Why UBUNTU-XAI?
Most AI fairness tools are designed for Western contexts. African languages, cultures, and knowledge systems remain underrepresented in mainstream AI evaluation. **UBUNTU-XAI** addresses this gap by providing a purpose-built platform to:
- **Detect cultural bias** in large language models when processing African heritage content
- **Evaluate fairness** across demographic groups using metrics like Demographic Parity and Equalized Odds
- **Surface interpretable rules** that explain *why* a model fails — not just *that* it fails
- **Compare models** side-by-side across multiple dimensions of cultural sensitivity
The name reflects the Ubuntu philosophy: *"I am because we are."* AI systems should reflect the full diversity of human experience.
## Features
- **Multi-Step Evaluation Wizard** — Configure benchmarks, select models, choose languages, and pick evaluation templates through a guided setup flow
- **Fairness Dashboard** — Interactive charts (bar charts, radar plots, progress bars) visualizing Demographic Parity, Equalized Odds, and overall fairness scores
- **Interpretable Rules Engine** — Automatically extracted fuzzy rules that explain model behavior in human-readable language (e.g., *"If Language is Yoruba AND Topic is Proverbs → Accuracy 87%"*)
- **Model Directory** — Browse and compare AI models with cultural alignment and bias scores
- **Benchmark Datasets** — Standardized evaluation suites (IrokoBench, INJONGO) covering 12+ African languages
- **Presentation Mode** — Figma-like canvas view with realistic iPhone 14 Pro mockup frames and export to PNG, PDF, and PPTX
- **Full-Stack Architecture** — PostgreSQL database, Express API, React frontend with …
