Resumo

This article studies the right to explainability, which is extremely important in times of fast technological evolution and use of deep learning for the most varied decision-making procedures based on personal data. Its main hypothesis is that the right to explanation is totally linked to the due process of Law and legality, being a safeguard for those who need to contest automatic decisions taken by algorithms, whether in judicial contexts, in general Public Administration contexts, or even in private entrepreneurial contexts.. Through hypothetical-deductive procedure method, qualitative and transdisciplinary approach, and bibliographic review technique, it was concluded that opacity, characteristic of the most complex systems of deep learning, can impair access to justice, due process legal and contradictory. In addition, it is important to develop strategies to overcome opacity through the work of experts, mainly (but not only). Finally, Brazilian LGPD provides for the right to explanation, but the lack of clarity in its text demands that the Judiciary and researchers also make efforts to better build its regulation.
