## Abstract
Discussions about trustworthy and responsible AI have become central across multiple communities in recent years -  machine learning, law, social sciences, among others. A key challenge regarding trust in AI - also considered important by regulators as part of transparency for some AI applications - is to understand why black boxes may be making specific predictions. As a result, explainable AI (XAI) has been a growing topic of research. In this talk, I will discuss some potential drawbacks XAI may have - including the potential to erode safety in practice - and also present some work that takes into account behavioural aspects researchers and practitioners may need to consider when developing XAI.
