On the other hand, with algorithms you can actually study how the decisions are made. You can investigate what was given as input and how it affected the results.
With complicated algorithms it may not be obvious, but then you can try to poke the black box with thousands of sample cases to see how it reacts.
Compare this with humans, who often don’t even know themselves what their decisions are really based on.
