## Summary

This study, conducted by Medet Inkarbekov, Rosemary Monahan and Barak A. Pearlmutter, provides a comprehensive review of the utilization of Virtual Reality (VR) for visualizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. The researchers draw on 18 selected studies to examine the tools, methods and approaches used in VR visualization with a particular focus on VR engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity. Despite the availability of these tools, the study finds that there is no universal solution for effective AI visualization. Each technique has its own unique strengths and limitations. However, the researchers observe that VR is being applied for AI visualization across multiple domains despite challenges such as high data complexity and cognitive load. The study also briefly discusses the emerging ethical considerations associated with integrating VR and AI technologies. While there are significant potential benefits to be gained from these immersive technologies, it is important to consider the ethical implications they raise. Overall, this review highlights the need for dedicated research efforts to fully unlock the potential of VR for AI visualization. The researchers outline a roadmap for future research that encourages innovation in visualization techniques while addressing identified challenges and considering ethical implications. By doing so, they aim to promote further advancements in this field and facilitate the convergence of VR and AI technologies.
