When artificial intelligence is used for making decisions, people are more likely to accept those decisions if they can be made intelligible to the public. This understanding has led to the emerging field of explainable artificial intelligence. We review how research on explainable artificial intelligence is being conducted and discuss the limitations of current approaches. In addition to technical limitations, there is the huge problem that human decision-making is not entirely transparent either. We conclude with our position that the opacity of intelligent decision-making may be intrinsic, and with the larger question of whether we really need explanations for trusting inherently complex and large intelligent systems — artificial or otherwise.
