The idea
Some opacity is standard — removable in principle with effort and access — while some may be deep, ineliminable from learned systems of this kind; the two demand different responses.
In practice
Explainable-AI research is the attempted remedy, with an unresolved debate underneath about what an interpretation certifies.
Where people slip
