Explainability transcends the realm of individual requirements; it further serves as a mirror reflecting how a system addresses various demands. While we assess the quality of explainability based on the system’s ability to elucidate its outcomes, the very need for explanation sheds light on design decisions, fostering higher awareness of human values like ethics and responsibility. In this talk, I will delve into the current priorities of software developers concerning the integration of specific quality attributes addressing human values, such as privacy, security, and sustainability into the software they develop. Drawing from theories rooted in cognitive science, psychology, and organizational science, I will explore strategies for elevating these priorities within organizational contexts, where needed. Finally, I will propose approaches showing promise for promoting attitudes and behaviors supporting explainability and for understanding its interplay with other objectives guiding the system development process.
