Comment by Cynthia Rudin

Duke professor, interpretable ML advocate
You can't have accountability without transparency. Black box models are not transparent, and they don't mix well with human oversight. Either the human blindly trusts the model—or doesn't trust it at all.

AI Verified The source URL itself contains this passage verbatim (aside from typographic curly/straight apostrophes) and attributes it to Dr. CYNTHIA RUDIN in the interview. One correction: the page is published April 13, 2025, not 2026.

AI Verified Verified via web search. Cynthia Rudin (Duke professor and interpretable ML advocate) made this statement in the Gulan Media interview "Opening the Black Box." Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the search confirms the verbatim quote and Rudin's well-documented public stance — she has consistently argued in Nature (2019) and her Senate testimony that black box models should not be used for high-stakes decisions. The "for" vote on "Require AI systems above a capability threshold to be interpretable" aligns directly with her published policy position. Year 2026 is current. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
