Maybe. Maybe not.

Thing is there isn't a "principle" from we won't use AI designed/implemented things. It just depends on the cost/benefit/risk balance, and the risk part is largely subjective (because we don't have enough data, and if we avoid using AI before we have enough data, then we won't have data for a long time).

There's a difference between "no one understands it" and "no one has tested and validated it's safety". You don't need to fully understand the mechanics of something to test it and validate it. Plenty of things in the real world work this way already.

Will I die if I don't get on the airplane?

If so, yes, I'll get on it.
