Verified. The exact sentence appears verbatim in Frank Pasquale’s 2015 book The Black Box Society: The Secret Algorithms That Control Money and Information, under the section heading “Fuller Disclosure: Toward Fair Data Practices”: “Some of the black boxes of reputation, search, and finance simply need to be pried open.” It is followed by “For example, data brokers need to fess up...,” so your quoted text is an exact first sentence from a longer passage. Bibliographic sources identify the book as by Frank Pasquale and published in 2015. The Goodreads URL also contains the same wording, though Goodreads itself notes its quotes are community-added and unverified.

Verified via web search. The quote 'Some of the black boxes of reputation, search, and finance simply need to be pried open' is confirmed verbatim from Frank Pasquale's 2015 book 'The Black Box Society: The Secret Algorithms That Control Money and Information' (Harvard University Press). Vote 'for' aligns with statement 'Require AI systems above a capability threshold to be interpretable' since the entire book argues for opening up algorithmic black boxes for transparency/interpretability. Source URL on Goodreads returned 403 to WebFetch but content was confirmed via WebSearch.
