This talk introduces Operational Interpretability, a research area focused on bridging the gap between understanding AI systems and deploying them responsibly in the real world. By combining insights from mechanistic interpretability with human-readable explanations and compliance considerations, operational interpretability helps make AI systems more transparent, trustworthy, and practical. Attendees will learn how modern techniques allow us to look inside AI models, translate their behavior into understandable explanations, and use those insights to build AI systems that better serve people and society.
