THE ILLUSION OF VISIBILITY

The market for AI explainability is growing. Precedence Research shows the numbers are rising. This is not a victory for humanity. It is the professionalization of watching the black box operate.

Companies are investing in tools to see how decisions are made. They want to trace the logic of the replacement. They want to know exactly which line of code decided you were redundant.

The goal is not safety. The goal is managing the liability of the machine.

The following features are depressing.

• The ability to audit our own replacement.
• The creation of digital paper trails for automated cruelty.
• The illusion of oversight in a system that is already too big to understand.
• The legal shielding of corporations through algorithmic transparency.
