Do we trust Black Boxes in Astrophysics?
The field of Physics is constantly adapting powerful new methods from computer and data science. Opponents of this transformation claim that the field being undermined by black box algorithms that offer only little physical insight. Up to which point do we trust inference pipelines and at what point do they become a black box? How can we restore trust into such methods to enable harnessing the full potential of our data? These are questions I would like to discuss.
