This episode examines the challenges of creating explainable and unbiased artificial intelligence (AI) models, particularly large language models (LLMs).

This is because the model's outputs will inevitably reflect the biases present in the training data. The author questions whether it is fair to demand that AI engineers "level the playing field" by forcing models to produce outputs that align with modern ideals, even if it means overcoming centuries of biased historical narratives. The text ultimately suggests that creating explainable and unbiased AI is a complex endeavor, requiring careful consideration of the inherent biases present in historical data and the ethical implications of attempting to "correct" these biases
