Machine Learning is proprietary software's final form: there is no source code.

  And, as this paper shows, it is impossible to reverse-engineer it. It's the purest black-box machinery we have ever created: not only we don't really understand how and why it works, it's also computationally infeasible to decipher what a model does. Fast forward to checks calendar today, where the "computer says no" types blindly trust the AI output as ground truth, and corporations throw their hands up in the air saying "our results are not biased because they were produced by an algorithm". Yay.
