Technically, what is Understanding?

When a machine can explain what it's doing and how it has reached the decision to do it that way, then maybe it understands what it's doing.

Some animals clearly show understanding up to a level https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZerUbHmuY04

But they can not explain it to us, so "can explain" is a unnecessary high bar.

That's a telling point. Yet, I still feel uncomfortable with the idea.
