What's the point of training a model if you don't think it will describe the real world in some way?

An AI says there is a dog in a particular picture. The truth of this finding has major implications - say a murder case hangs in the balance. Should someone go look and see if there is actually a dog in the picture?

A cutting-edge model can provide interesting leads but they need to be confirmed by a known reliable method if a serious question hangs in the balance.
