Perhaps I can't, but the High Priests of the Computer....
Seriously though, needing to format your questions in some sort of formal language and needing an expert to interpret the results isn't particularly problematic. Indeed some fictional AIs have required this (Merlin for example in Piper's Cosmic Computer) perhaps on the model of the way early computers required specialist card punchers. Or, possibly the experts required to interpret oracles. Much the same thing right?
