BSL AI Glossary - Black Box definition


Translation: A black box is a system in which the internal processes are not transparent or easily understood by users or developers. In the context of AI, a model is described as a black box when it generates outputs without revealing the reasoning or internal steps that produced those results. This lack of transparency can make it difficult to identify errors, detect bias, or understand unexpected behaviour.
