Challenges in understanding or explaining the decision-making processes of AI systems, which can lead to mistrust, difficulty in enforcing compliance standards or holding relevant actors accountable for harms, and the inability to identify and correct errors.

"Chain-of-thought reasoning is sometimes employed to get a better understanding of the model’s output, where it encourages transparent reasoning in text form. However, in some cases, this reasoning is not consistent with the final answer given by the AI model, and as such does not give sufficient transparency [113]."(p. 25)
