Black Box AI

Obstacle

Description

AI's reasoning is hidden. With code, you can open it up and see what's there - no mystery. With AI, you only see inputs and outputs, not what's inside.

AI has something resembling a human mental model, but you can't inspect it.

Impact

  • Misalignment between your mental model and AI's goes undetected
  • Hard to even suspect something is wrong
