AI Definitions: Opaque AI
/Opaque AI – This is when an AI algorithm operates as a black box that we can’t understand. This can lead to AI systems inadvertently perpetuating and amplifying biases. AI transparency, on the other hand, allows for the examination and understanding of how these biases occur, leading to more ethical and fair AI systems. The level of AI opacity varies depending on the industry. For example, in highly regulated industries, transparency is paramount for legal and regulatory compliance.
