The problem isn't that it's impossible for humans to understand, nor that one can't hire the best in the field to implement this solution. The problem is that the people who need to understand the outcome won't be able to understand it. I disagree that people won't be able to understand it - I propose they can't be bothered to understand it. Regular people do not give a shit about algorithms - either the computer/software works or it doesn't. Tech geeks regularly forget this simple fact. Most people have other things they care about and all they want is to press a button and have an answer come out. If its instantly clear how the answer is generated, they think about it for a very short while, agree and move on with their lives. If it's not instantly clear how the answer is generated, they assume the computer is right and move on with their lives.
