Silvie Spreeuwenberg has done a very good job at outlining why AI needs more thansparency. In this short and well written publication, the author uses non-technical and clear language.

The decision may need to be defended in court if it is legally challenged. I agree with the hybrid-system approach mentioned by the author of this article; it seems to me as the way to go to get to the next level in AI.- Linkedin

Thanks, Silvie, for this crisp and clear explanation. What I like in particular is the first point: ‘supports a well-defined decision-making task’. I’d like to emphasize the word “supports”.
