Glass Box Model

An AI model that is inherently interpretable, such as a decision tree or linear regression, where the decision-making logic can be directly inspected and understood.

In plain language

An AI where you can see and understand every step of the decision-making process. Like a simple flowchart: if income greater than $50,000 and credit score greater than 700, then approve.

Why this matters

Glass box models simplify governance and compliance by enabling direct audit of decision logic. Your AI strategy should consider whether interpretable models can meet performance requirements, as they significantly reduce audit complexity and support demonstrable accountability.
