The crisis of American forensics

There are many algorithms already that render ANNs into decision trees and other interpretable forms. Nothing to fear here, citizen.

show me some, that approach is at best experimental as far as I'm aware, and unable to create a 1:1 correspondence with how an ANN classifies.

A far cry from "many algorithms" like its some kind of well established practice and fact.

It is kind of far cry from established practice but how far cry from established implementation are your fears of unintended abuse? It's not nearly at the point yet to be paranoid. Having bugs in ANN before debugging makes them no different from usual software that is already used in forensic research. And nobody in their right mind will deploy networks that impossible or prohibitively difficult to debug for any kind of critical tasks. Otherwise irrational people can abuse power even without any software or ANNs.
