The most beneficial application of AI like this is to reverse-engineer the neural network to figure out how the AI works. In this way we may discover a new technique or procedure, or we might find out the AI's methods are bullshit. Under no circumstance should we accept a "black box" explanation.

iirc it recently turned out that the whole black box thing was actually a bullshit excuse to evade liability, at least for certain kinds of model.

Well in theory you can explain how the model comes to it's conclusion. However I guess that 0.1% of the "AI Engineers" are actually capable of that. And those costs probably 100k per month.
