Episode 66 — Evaluate model explainability expectations without overpromising certainty (Task 9)
This episode teaches you how to evaluate explainability expectations without overpromising certainty, because Task 9 questions often test whether you can set realistic transparency requirements based on decision impact and stakeholder needs. You’ll learn the difference between explaining how a model generally behaves, explaining why a specific output occurred, and explaining whether the outcome is fair, compliant, and appropriate for the policy context. We’ll cover how explainability requirements should be defined up front, including what audiences need to understand, what disclosures are required, and what evidence must exist for audit and recourse. You’ll also learn common exam pitfalls, such as assuming explainability tools eliminate bias, or assuming any explanation is acceptable even when it is not actionable or verifiable. By the end, you should be able to answer exam scenarios by selecting the option that sets explainability as a bounded, testable requirement supported by documentation and operational processes, not as a promise of perfect understanding.
