Mechanistic interpretability, often shortened to mech interp, mechinterp, or MI, is a part of a larger area called explainable artificial intelligence. It focuses on understanding how neural networks work by examining the processes involved in their calculations. This method is similar to how people study binary computer programs to figure out what they do.
