Description: Recently, the International Organization for Standardization released Draft Technical Specification for Information technology - Artificial intelligence - Objectives and approaches for explainability and interpretability of machine learning (ML) models and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. We commend ISO for developing a technically robust framework in ISO/IECDTS6254:2025 to advance explainability in ML systems. However, we caution that if formalized as a binding standard without revision, this document will impose disproportionate compliance burdens on micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
