I'm trying to get the company I work for used to the idea of ML in general, and one thing I get push back on is that we don't understand what such system are doing. Beyond showing them the math, I also point out to some of our bug reports that end up spanning thousands of lines, with input by our best, most experienced people, and that how often the bug "fix" is of the "well, it works now" type, and that we actually don't really understand what our system is doing. Of course the most common response back is a bunch of "yeah, but"s :) I'm making progress, but it is slow going. I've been steeped in code for nearly 40 years now, I'm ok with the fact that ML lets me step back a bit from tabs, semicolons, and objects!
