"Where the internal structure of an AI-based system is too complex for humans to understand, the system can only be tested as a black box. Even when the internal structure is visible, this provides no additional useful information to help with testing."

This confirms that black-box testing is chosen because the tester does not need to understand the system’s internal structure.
