> I'm not saying that everywhere else is nice, i.e. Deep Learning is barely legal for commercial use in Europe with GPDR!

Wasn’t aware of that. What is the reason for it? To protect consumer privacy?

GPDR has a clause that requires companies that uses data from the EU to explain exactly how they used the data and how the algorithm reach the conclusion it did. Deep Learning is currently a black box where you train it and it knows what to do, but we can't explain exactly how it did it.

That's assuming that the explanation that decision came from a neural network isn't enough. Same way you wouldn't have to explain the physics of a coin toss if you'd use that as decision maker.
