The black box problem in artificial intelligence refers to the opacity, inaccessibility, and unpredictability of internal processes in complex machine learning systems.
The lack of interpretability poses risks in safety-critical domains such as medicine, law, finance, and autonomous systems.
Efforts to address the black box problem focus on transparency, accountability, and interpretability but have limitations in modeling system persistence.
The Persistence Equation introduces a framework to understand internal model stability over time, considering reversibility, entropy, fragility, and buffering capacity.
Variables like reversibility (η), fragility (α), entropy (Q), and buffering capacity (T) in AI systems impact internal coherence and survival under stress or change.
The Persistence Equation model aims to measure the probability of a system maintaining structural coherence over time, incorporating thermodynamic principles.
Variables in the Persistence Equation such as η, Q, α, and T can be approximated, visualized, and monitored to assess model resilience in real-time AI systems.
Measuring reversibility (η), entropy pressure (Q), buffering capacity (T), and fragility (α) provides insights into system durability and early failure detection.
The Persistence Equation offers a framework for real-time monitoring and predictive self-diagnosis in AI systems, moving beyond post hoc explanations.
By incorporating the Persistence framework, developers aim to build ethical, stable, and resilient AI systems that can resist internal collapse.
The shift from a black box to a glass box AI involves understanding internal information dynamics for system survival under entropy, providing a new perspective on AI interpretability.
