Abstract

Baron claims that we can, given a sound inductive basis, appropriately trust unexplainable AI systems. Fan disagrees and claims that the opacity of these systems disqualifies them as appropriate objects of trust. In this response, I argue that Baron’s case for trusting unexplainable AI systems is stronger than Fan holds. Along the way, I suggest some implications for thinking about trusting AI systems.
