Do We Need to Explain AI?

Blog: BPM.com - Forum

Ron Schmelzer writes in Understanding Explainable AI:

Most of us have little visibility and knowledge on how AI systems make the decisions they do, and as a result, how the results are being applied in the various fields that AI and machine learning is being applied. Many of the algorithms used for machine learning are unable to be examined after the fact to understand specifically how and why a decision has been made. This is especially true of the most popular algorithms currently in use — specifically, deep learning neural network approaches. As humans, we must be able to fully understand how decisions are being made so that we can trust the decisions of AI systems. The lack of explainability and trust hampers our ability to fully trust AI systems. We want computer systems to work as expected and produce transparent explanations and reasons for decisions they make. This is known as Explainable AI (XAI).

Do you agree? Will we never fully trust AI systems until we fully understand them? What about the time when we have AI systems designing AI systems that are completely removed from human architects?
