A black box algorithm is any algorithm that wasn't really written by a human. It isn't about having the source code, it is about utilizing the output of a neural network, which is built up by multiplying a bunch of inputs by weight values and is basically nonsense when you look at it.

Basically any algorithm where you are training it with tons of samples and then it creates a logic tree that is not written by a human is a black box algorithm.

By the time AI technology gets to the point that we realize we should regulate it we will be too late.
