In the aftermath, investigators didn’t rely on eyewitness testimony or pilot memory. They dove into a twisted, fire-scorched device buried in the tail of the aircraft: the Flight Data Recorder .
You can’t depose a neural network. It has no intent. It has no memory. It is a mathematical hallucination. blackbox
Then came the neural network. Unlike classical software, where a human writes IF X THEN Y , a neural network learns by itself. You feed it millions of cat photos. It adjusts millions of internal "neurons" (weights and biases) until it recognizes a cat. But here is the horror: The final model is a soup of 100 million floating-point numbers. No human, not even the programmer who trained it, can look at that soup and tell you why it decided a particular image was a cat. In 1977, two Boeing 747s collided on a
