When I eat I don't have control or understanding over what is really in my food - microbes, viruses, dirt ... but I still eat without that knowledge. When we use AI we don't understand every weight and activation, but we still get a feeling of what it is doing.
The standard of getting perfect knowledge before using something is impractical, not even regular software written manually is well understood. Hell, they even managed to blow up a few rockets with buggy code, and that should have been the most well understood and verified pieces of code.

What else has been claimed before? All of these statements are both true and not at the same time. All of those things can have both positive and negative consequences in society, even at the same time.
