In high-stakes litigation, “black box” AI models can be a legal liability. Randy assists with dissecting the internal logic of these systems to determine how they make decisions, what data they rely on, and how transparent those decisions are to regulators, users, or impacted parties.

• Reviewing model architecture, feature weighting, and decision trees

• Analyzing compliance with explainability mandates (e.g., EU AI Act, FTC guidance)

• Testing for reproducibility, audit trails, and model governance policies

If a model’s decisions can’t be explained, they may not be legally defensible.
