Black Box
A Black Box model is an AI or machine learning system whose internal workings, parameters, and decision-making logic are hidden or too complex for humans to interpret or understand (such as deep neural networks with billions of weights).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are deep learning models considered black boxes?▼
Because they consist of millions or billions of parameters performing high-dimensional non-linear math operations simultaneously, making it practically impossible to trace exactly which parameters caused a specific prediction.
What is the opposite of a black box model?▼
A White Box (or Glass Box) model, which is naturally interpretable and transparent, such as simple decision trees or linear regression equations.
