520 _aThe explainability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is cited in the literature as a pillar of AI ethics, yet few studies explore its organizational reality. This study proposes to remedy this shortcoming, based on interviews with actors in charge of designing and implementing AI in 17 organizations. Our results highlight: the massive substitution of explainability by the emphasis on performance indicators; the substitution of the requirement of understanding by a requirement of accountability; and the ambiguous place of industry experts within design processes, where they are employed to validate the apparent coherence of ‘black-box’ algorithms rather than to open and understand them. In organizational practice, explainability thus appears sufficiently undefined to reconcile contradictory injunctions. Comparing prescriptions in the literature and practices in the field, we discuss the risk of crystallizing these organizational issues via the standardization of management tools used as part of (or instead of) AI explainability.
