AI (in its current advanced state) is considered a black box since nobody, not even its creators, know how it works internally.

The input and output of ChatGPT are clearly visible – you ask a question and you get an answer. But nobody can fully explain HOW it came to the answer to the question it was given.
Deep Learning is one of the most fundamental pieces of the AI puzzle.
Deep learning is a machine learning approach that intends to allow a computer to learn just like a human does and was inspired by how the “neural networks” in the human brain function.
