Greatcomment, very insightful.

I think another reason is that in business you need models you can reason about.

One example is from a bank that advises customers on investment. They have to algorithms doing machine learning on the market, a decision tree and a deep neural net. Over time they can see that the neural net outperforms the decision tree, yet they cannot use the results to advise customers because it is a black box.

Why should you buy this investment? "Because the computer said so" isn`t an answer that makes it sound like you know what you are talking about.
