Can we talk about xAI

After sitting through yet another presentation by a self-proclaimed xAI (explainable AI) expert who talked about everything but xAI, can we talk about what’s actually going on? Besides it being the latest buzzword and a thousand studies showing how much we need to be able to explain how AI gets to its results. Are we actually getting anywhere, besides maybe using agents to break it down into several steps, towards making it happen or is it all just mostly hot air and funding body speak at this stage?
