Verified. The source URL opens to the Medium article "How Not to Regulate the Data Economy," credited to Pedro Domingos and dated May 20, 2018; the body text contains the exact sentence, “But it’s potentially disastrous, because there’s often a tradeoff between accuracy and explainability.” This matches the quote verbatim and confirms the attribution.

Medium URL returned 403 to WebFetch but Google search snippet directly confirmed the exact quote text from Pedro Domingos's May 2018 Medium article "How Not to Regulate the Data Economy", which discusses GDPR's "right to explanation" requirements. Author attribution is correct (UW computer science professor, author of The Master Algorithm). Vote alignment is correct: Domingos argues against mandatory explainability requirements due to accuracy tradeoffs, matching the "against" vote on statement 358 "Require AI systems above a capability threshold to be interpretable".
