The Black Box

Synopsis

In 2013, researchers in Galicia developed two predictive models to assess corporate bankruptcy: a logistic regression model with an 84% accuracy rate and a neural network achieving 90% accuracy but lacking transparency. "The Black Box" examines the implications of relying on complex financial algorithms that influence loan approvals and risk assessments without clear explanations. By utilizing artificial intelligence for visual representation, the documentary highlights the growing disconnect between algorithmic decision-making and its impact on individuals, raising critical questions about accountability in modern finance.
