You don’t always have to know how it works to rely on it. Most people could not tell you how a computer works but they are able to do better work.

We can verify that it’s better in some tasks than people. E.g give doctors and the AI 1000 MRI scans of potential cancer patients and it can determine it more accurate than doctors. So there they already are a help.

It’s already used in advancing different fields, for example reading texts of ancient burned scrolls without opening the scroll since that would break them.

But also medicine creation etc.

I’d really prefer if my doctor knew why they say I have cancer!

  That would be nice but as the “proud owner of medical issues” it’s much more often: “You have this, we don’t know why you have it, this is how we can manage it”.
  
  You still want your doctor to be knowledgeable of course, but you also want them to use the best tools at their disposal. Most of them probably couldn’t tell you how an mri machine works exactly either.
