Unlocking the AI ‘Black Box’: Understanding Deep Learning Mysteries

Artificial Intelligence makes decisions that often leave us baffled.

But why is this?

Think about how a child learns to recognise a cat just by seeing various pictures.

They pick up trends without consciously knowing the process.

AI mirrors this, learning from data without tracking its decision process.

In the same way you probably don't remember the first time you recognised a cat, AI can't pinpoint exactly when or where it learned something.

This "black box" issue makes it impossible to reverse engineer how decisions are made.

Fixing these errors means exposing AI to countless scenarios.

But can we cover every possible situation in training data?

This black box problem also raises ethical concerns.

AI decisions in finance, healthcare, and hiring can reflect human biases.

It's crucial for AI to explain its decisions to ensure fairness.

How do we solve this problem?

→ One approach is regulating AI in high-stakes areas.

- The European Union is categorising AI applications by risk.

→ Another approach is developing explainable AI.

- Researchers are working to make AI's decision-making transparent.

- This involves advanced data science methods and larger neural networks.

We must strive to make AI both ethical and understandable.
