Good luck explaining that to a judge who demands to know why the AI made the decisions that caused an accident, and what exactly the manufacturer is doing to prevent it from happening again.

There are tons of physical processes that aren't explainable. Most current petrochemical plants have inner workings that are only half known, at best. What are we doing about it? Modeling the failure, and engineering a solution that no longer fails in that situation. Unit testing our way to robustness!
