Maybe. They can also be inscrutable.

And that's just basic algorithms and regular human-written code.

Then you've got ML systems which are a whole 'nother level of inscrutable.

Or buggy. We're already running plenty of buggy code, but at least the errors can usually be found. If an AI overflows on some intermediate calculation sometimes because of implementation error I'm almost sure nobody will find that.
